Me too. Very basic. I could go a couple steps up. Fun, though. Thanks #3!
@LovinLarge I suspect a large part of the general public would fail that test miserably
@TheoryNumber3 According to the graph, 43% of the population gets only 6 out of eleven (54% = F).
I knew you guys would nail it!! I got 11 also.

11 but did take a bit of thinking.

There were a couple I wasn't sure of early on.
@LovinLarge Same here. Most of the time the answer did not follow the question but sounded right.
Wow I got all 11. I guess I am more surprised that most people that took the quiz did not answer most of them correctly. I actually took an interest in learning about science, math and world history when I was in school, and I actually researched other topics on my own in the library before the age of the internet. I spent my free time reading in the library, and checking out books instead of hanging out with friends.

There were 2-3 fairly tough questions.
Missed:
When large areas of forest are removed so land can be converted for other uses, such as farming, which of the following occurs?
You answered:
Decreased carbon dioxide
The correct answer:
Increased erosion
My first thought was erosion, but then I thought that might depend on the specifics of land form and land use.

Conventional farming will deplete the soil and release carbon dioxide. No-till farming will keep carbon trapped. The difference makes a huge impact.

The carbon dioxide would increase due the lack of oxygen production from the felled trees. Deforestation does lead to more carbon emissions, but that was not one of the choices. Increased erosion was the only one that made sense.
@MyTVC15 Farming was suggested as a forest replacement. Depending what was farmed, Oxygen and/or CO2 could increase or decrease. Since all farming requires a harvest, soil erosion seems the only certain answer.
