Question 1
Ocean pH is the highest
it has been in 20 million years.
True
False Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
With ocean acidification dropping, it is the lowest it has been in 20
million years.
0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 2
What is true about air temperature measurements in urban areas such as
Phoenix, Arizona over the past 50 years?
Temperatures have generally decreased due to urban bias. Daytime temperatures have increased, but nighttime temperatures have
decreased.
Nighttime temperatures have increased much more than have daytime
temperatures.
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Temperatures have remained relatively constant. 0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 3
Managing a system while simultaneously learning more about the system
is known as:
None of the choices are correct Sustainability approach Adaptive cycle
Adaptive management Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Adaptive management is managing a system while learning about the
system to better understand its weaknesses.
0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 4
Choose the best answer that fits the following description.
A system where the individual parts cannot be easily summed up to
understand the overall system. None of the choices are correct. Complex adaptive system Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
A complex adaptive system is one where the whole is greater than
the sum of its parts.
Adaptive system Complicated adaptive system 0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 5
Which of the following are examples of factors that contribute to urban
warming?
Aerosol emissions from cars and industry Lots of dark surfaces and shade trees

Waste heat emissions from energy use and lots of concrete and asphalt Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Global warming and heavy use of water in cities 0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 6
This week's reading defines stages of ozone recovery. Which of the
following options puts those stages in the correct order?
None of these are in the correct order. Stratospheric ozone itself increases, stratospheric ozone decline starts to
slow, then ozone fully recovers.
Stratospheric ozone decline starts to slow, stratospheric ozone itself
increases, then ozone fully recovers.
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
According to 'Detecting recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer, the
correct order is: stratospheric ozone decline starts to slow,
stratospheric ozone itself increases, then ozone fully recovers.
Stratospheric ozone decline starts to slow, ozone fully recovers, then
stratospheric ozone itself increases.
0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 7
According to this week's readings, projections suggest that global
stratospheric ozone will be back at its 1980 level by
in about 1000 years around 2030. Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
'Detecting recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer' states that
"global ozone is projected to recover to its 1980 level by around
2030.
around 2100. Global ozone will not recover to its 1980 level. 0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 8
All of the following are among the six EPA-regulated "criteria pollutants"
except...
Lead Monoterpines Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to set National Ambient Air
Quality Standards for six common air pollutants: Carbon Monoxide,
Ground-level Ozone, Lead, Nitrogen Oxides, Particulate Matter, and
Sulfur Dioxide.
Particulate matter Ground-level ozone 0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 9
About how long does it take oceans to neutralize added carbon dioxide?
Less than 3 years About 1000 years Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
According to the article on ocean acidification, it would take about
1000 years for the carbon dioxide to be flushed deep enough for
ocean sediments to neutralize it.
Added carbon dioxide is neutralized immediately. About 100 years 0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 10
What is meant by the great acceleration?
The process that describes the transition from a stable state to an unstable
one
A sudden increase in temperature that occurred before the Anthropocene None of the choices are correct. The impact that us humans have on our planet and its natural systems has
increased substantially since the industrial revolution
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
The Great Acceleration is referring to how the impact of humans on
our planet has greatly increased since the Industrial Revolution.

Question 11
Which of the following are factors that can affect ozone?
Solar irradiance Aerosol loading Stratospheric wind All of these choices are correct. Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
All of the options listed can affect ozone.
Stratospheric temperature 0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 12
A Social Ecological system is:
None of these choices are correct. A complex, evolving system with no equilibrium that has both human and
natural components
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Social Ecological systems are complex systems with human and
natural components. They have no equilibrium because they are
always changing.
A complex, adaptive system with a singular equilibrium and occurs in the
Anthropocene
A simple, evolving system where preserving key functions is vital to
maintain an equilibrium
0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 13
Ground-level ozone concentrations typically decrease
with increasing
air
temperature.
True False Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Ground-level ozone concentrations increase with temperature due to
a combination of temperature-sensitive emissions and temperature-
sensitive rate constants for certain chemical reactions in the
atmosphere.
0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 14
The current geological age in which human activity has been the
dominant influence on climate and environment is known as the...
Bioclimatic age Anthropocene Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Global urban change Holocene
0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 15
Equilibrium
in Ecological Resilience is when a perturbation to a system
has a tendency to shift the system to a new state.
True False Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Equilibrium is the ability of the system to resist changes to remain in
its current state.
0.5 / 0.5 pts
Question 16
Aerosol-cloud interactions have a large influence on meteorological
conditions, and meteorological conditions have a large influence on
aerosol-cloud interactions.
True Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
Correct!
According to "The aerosol effect," aerosol-cloud interactions have
had an influence on rainfall and tornado formation, and
meteorological conditions influence aerosol-cloud interactions,
creating difficulties when it comes to modeling these interactions.
