Study the graph. Which of the following is true?
1. The number of floods in the world increased from about 20 in 1970 to nearly 200 in 2005
2. The number of land slides increased by 400% between 1970 and 2005
3. The worst year for flooding was 2001
4. The worst year for drought was 2005

This graph shows that
1. the world has got hotter with each decade since 1960.
2. 1980-1989 was the hottest decade.
3. since 1970 the worlds temperature has increased by 0.9 degrees centegrade.
4. the world's temperature isn't changing.
Look at the top graph. It shows that
1. in the last 140 years the earth's temperature has been rising.
2. in the last 140 years the earth's temperature has been constant.
3. in the last 140 years the earth's temperature has been falling.
4. in 1940 the earths temperature was 0.
Look at the bottom graph. It shows
1. that temperatures between 1000 and 1900 were similar, but in the last century they have risen dramatically
2. that there was an ice age between 1000 and 1900.
3. that the coldest year was 1600.
4. nothing, because the data is "proxy".
This bar chart shows that
1. in 2004 CO2 production was increasing.
2. in 2004 energy production was responsible for more than a quarter of all CO2 production.
3. in 2004 over one fifth of CO2 production was produced by industry.
4. in 2004 agriculture produced less than a tenth of CO2 emissions
A good way to represent this data so it shows the proportions of CO2 that each sector produces would be
1. a pie chart.
2. a scatter diagram.
3. a line graph.
4. a pictogram.
What is wrong with this chart?
1. It has no title
2. The angles don't add up to 360 degrees
3. The percentages don't add up to 100%
4. The electricity sector should be bigger.
What type of chart is this?
1. Three dimensional pie chart
2. Scatter diagram
3. Circle diagram
4. Histogram
This chart shows that
1. 27% of most people's carbon emissions comes from fueling their home.
2. a quarter of most peoples emissions result from transport
3. flying accounts for a tenth of most people's emissions
4. using electricity in the home accounts for less than a tenth of emissions
