b) A warming of ocean surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean
c) A sudden drop in atmospheric pressure over landmasses
d) A cooling event that strengthens monsoon rains?
9. Which climatic phenomenon is associated with the cooling of ocean surface temperatures in the Pacific, often
leading to stronger trade winds?
a) La Niña b) El Niño c) Global warming d) Monsoon
10. What is the term for the long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions on
Earth?
a) Weather b) Climate change c) Tornado d) Ocean current
11. A team of meteorologists analyzes recent global climate trends and finds that extreme weather events like
hurricanes and wildfires are becoming more frequent. What could be the possible cause of this pattern?
a) Increased greenhouse gas emissions b) The natural cooling of the Earth’s core
c) A decline in human activities d) The movement of tectonic plates
12. Scientists discover that the Arctic ice is melting at an increasing rate. What could be the possible consequences of
this phenomenon?
a) Lower sea levels and more ice formation
b) Increased ocean temperatures and rising sea levels
c) Less impact on global climate as ice naturally melts every year
d) Stronger monsoons and more desert formation
13. What is the primary cause of the greenhouse effect?
a) The rotation of the Earth
b) The trapping of heat by certain gases in the atmosphere
c) The melting of glaciers and ice caps
d) The increase in oxygen levels due to plant growth
14. A farmer in Western Visayas notices that rainfall patterns have significantly decreased, affecting crop
production. Which climatic phenomenon is most likely responsible for this?
a) El Niño b) La Niña c) Monsoons d) Tornadoes
15. Scientists observe that a prolonged La Niña event has led to extreme drought in parts of Africa and severe
flooding in Australia. What can be inferred from this observation?
a) La Niña has the same effect on all parts of the world
b) La Niña can lead to different climate impacts depending on the region
c) La Niña only affects coastal countries near the Pacific Ocean
d) La Niña is caused by human activities like deforestation

A positive attitude leads to a positive action, which then yields a positive result. That’s how the cycle always goes. Nothing seems
to be too difficult for people blessed with positive mindsets. ☺💛
