Front

What is the main human activity that releases greenhouse gases?

Back

Burning fossil fuels.

Front

What is a direct effect of sea ice melting on global climate?

Back

Decrease in the Earth's albedo effect, leading to more solar absorption.

Front

What is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy?

Back

Greenhouse gases.

Front

Which layer of the atmosphere has weather?

Front

What happens to the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere during the annual cycle?

Back

The amount of CO2 cycles up and down annually.

Front

What are greenhouse gases?

Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect.

Front

What is the greenhouse effect?

Back

The warming of Earth's surface due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases.

Front

What role do oceans play in climate change?

Back

Oceans absorb CO2 and heat, influencing global climate patterns.

Front

What is albedo?

Back

The measure of how much sunlight is reflected by a surface.
