Name . Tyler Banks . Reference number . E98 . ESC 1000 - Earth Science - Online Climate Change Exercise Student Template Dr. Bruce Dubendorff Answer the following questions from the Climate Change Exercise in the green, underlined, and bolded spaces . Section 1: Average Earth's Temperature The first graph of What's Really Warming the World? shows the Observed Average Earth's Temperature Anomaly. Graph 1: Observed Q1) How would you describe the Observed Average Earth's Temperature Anomaly from 1880 to 2004 in terms of increasing, remaining the same, or decreasing? . It is gradually increasing . Q2) Using your eye and finger break the Observed graph into quarters. For each quarter determine if you think the temperature anomaly is increasing significantly, increasing slightly, not changing, decreasing slightly, or decreasing significantly. 1st quarter (on left): . slight decrease . 2nd quarter: . slight increase . 3rd quarter: . not changing . 4th quarter (on right): . significant increase . Section 2: Natural Factors The second through fifth graphs of What's Really Warming the World? show the Observed Average Earth's Temperature versus the 3 models of Natural Factors as well as the three Natural Factors Combined. Graph 2: Orbital Changes Q3) How would you describe the Orbital Changes Average Earth's Temperature Anomaly for the entire graph in terms of increasing, remaining the same, or decreasing? . The orbital change remains about the same as the temperature increases . Q4) Do you think that Orbital Changes model explains the Observed Temperature Anomaly? Why or why not? . No, because the orbital change is remaining the same . Graph 3: Solar Q5) How would you describe the Solar Average Earth's Temperature Anomaly for the entire graph in terms of increasing, remaining the same, or decreasing? . The solar average has stayed remotely the same but he temperature has increased. .
Q6) Do you think that Solar model explains the Observed Temperature Anomaly? Why or why not? . No, because solar average remains the same . Graph 4: Volcanic Q7) How would you describe the Volcanic Average Earth's Temperature Anomaly for the entire graph in terms of increasing, remaining the same, or decreasing? . The volcanic average has slightly decreased. . Q8) Do you think that Volcanic model explains the Observed Temperature Anomaly? Why or why not? . No, because the volcanic average has decreased . Graph 5: Natural Factors - Orbital Changes, Solar, and Volcanic combines together Q9) How would you describe the Natural Factors Average Earth's Temperature Anomaly for the entire graph in terms of increasing, remaining the same, or decreasing? . Natural factors have stayed the same with large dips . Q10) Do you think that Natural Factors model explains the Observed Temperature Anomaly? Why or why not? . No, because the temperature climbs while the natural factors stay the same . Section 3: Human Factors The sixth through tenth graphs of What's Really Warming the World? show the Observed Average Earth's Temperature versus the 4 models of Human Factors as well as the four Natural Factors Combined. Graph 6: Land Use Q11) How would you describe the Land Use Average Earth's Temperature Anomaly for the entire graph in terms of increasing, remaining the same, or decreasing? . The land use average has decreased . Q12) Do you think that Land Use model explains the Observed Temperature Anomaly? Why or why not? . No, because the temp has increased and the land use decreased . Graph 7: Ozone Q13) How would you describe the Ozone Average Earth's Temperature Anomaly for the entire graph in terms of increasing, remaining the same, or decreasing? . The ozone average has slightly increased . Q14) Do you think that Ozone model explains the Observed Temperature Anomaly? Why or why not? . No, because the temperature average has climbed faster than the ozone average . Graph 8: Aerosols
