Module 3, Part 2: Temperature: A Global Trendsetter Instructions In this module, you will read the information, watch the brief videos either embedded or given as links, and briefly answer the 'Stop and Think' Questions to turn in for grading. The questions are compiled here for Part 2 of the Ice Mass and Sea Level Changes Module. Please answer all questions.
Name: Paige Minkin Questions Answer the following questions based on Figure 1 in the Canvas Module. 1: During which time period were temperatures cooler than expected? From 1880 to 1940 2: During which time period were temperatures warmer than expected? From 1975 to 2010 3: During which time period were temperatures at the expected level? Why? From 1960 to 1975 4: How much warmer are global temperatures today than in 1980? Approximately 0.75 Answer the following questions based on Figures 2 and 3 in the Canvas Module. 5: How are the air temperature trend and sea level rise trend similar? Both trends can be influenced by global climate change. Both may exhibit patterns of variability over time. 6: How are the air temperature trend and sea level rise trend different? They represent distinct aspects of the Earth's climate system. 7: Explain what might account for these similarities and differences. Differences can be attributed to the specific processes driving each trend, like thermal expansion of seawater, ice melt, or atmospheric circulation patterns. 8: How many degrees did average air temperature change between 1992 and 1998? 0.5 C 9: How much did sea level change between 1992 and 1998? 20 mm 10: Assume that the relationship between air temperature and sea level rise is linear. Based on the trend that you identified in the previous question (for 1992 – 1998), what is the relationship between air temperature increase and sea level rise? A temperature rise of 1°C causes a 40 mm rise in sea level.
