Multiple Choice

• The heat from the sun is deflected from the earth's atmosphere

• The heat from the sun builds up in the earth's atmosphere and then burns the ozone layer

What is a greenhouse gas?

• An atmospheric gas that releases heat

• An atmospheric reaction when the sun hits gas

• An atmospheric gas that can trap and hold heat

• An atmospheric reaction when multiple gases are trapped in the atmosphere

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

Why is it called the 'greenhouse' effect?
