TEAS 7 Reading Practice Test
Please read the text below and answer the following question.
A global temperature change of a few degrees is more significant than it may seem
at first glance. This is not merely a change in weather in any one location. Rather, it
is an average change in temperatures around the entire surface of the planet. It
takes a vast amount of heat energy to warm every part of our world-including
oceans, air, and land-by even a tiny measurable amount. Moreover, relatively small
changes in the earth's surface temperatures have historically caused enormous
changes in climate. In the last ice age 20,000 years ago, when much of the northern
hemisphere was buried under huge sheets of ice, mean global temperatures were
only about five degrees Celsius lower than they are now. Scientists predict a
temperature rise of two to six degrees Celsius by 2100. What if this causes similarly
drastic changes to the world we call home?
Which se - ✅✅ -a. A global temperature change of a few degrees is more
significant than it may seem at first glance.
