 31) Which of the following is FALSE about the ocean conveyor belt? A) It is capable of causing rapid changes in climate. B) In the Atlantic, it is responsible for keeping Europe warmer than it would be. C) In the Atlantic, it is driven by cooling of the water near Greenland. D) Climate change could cause the ocean conveyor belt near Greenland to slow, cooling areas in Europe. E) Movement of water in the ocean conveyor belt is speeding up due to human activities. 32) When the Earth warms, won’t the areas that we lose to agriculture (like the U.S. Midwest) just be replaced by new areas that are now too cold for farming (like Northern Canada)? A) No. The areas that will warm will still be too cold to farm. B) Yes. There really won’t be any problems for agriculture once the Earth warms. C) Maybe. There is more to farming than just climate and more needs to be known about the soil characteristics in those areas. D) No. There aren’t enough people in those areas to farm the land. E) Yes. The amount of land that we gain will exactly replace the amount that we lose. 33) Which of the following is NOT expected to be caused by global warming? A) Rising sea level B) Increased earthquake activity C) Shrinking permafrost D) Shifts in the range of plants and animals E) Desertification 34) Which of the following is a reason why sea level will rise as a response to global warming? A) Increased temperatures will cause the Earth’s tectonic plates to swell, pushing the ocean floor upwards. B) Increased temperatures will cause ocean life to die and the ocean will swell due to massive decomposition of organic matter. C) Increased temperatures will cause an increase in ocean life and the ocean will swell as a result. D) Increased temperatures will cause the ocean water to expand. E) Global warming is not expected to cause the sea level to rise. 35) Which of the following is NOT a reason why sea level rise is a problem for humans? A) It increases shoreline erosion. B) It makes structures on the shoreline more vulnerable to storms. C) It causes estuaries to move landward towards human structures. D) It will cause the disappearance of some islands. E) It will deplete fish populations. Â
