Greenhouse Effect

The gas that is most abundant in the atmosphere is

• oxygen
• nitrogen
• carbon dioxide
• argon

The gas that is the second most abundant in the atmosphere is

• oxygen
• nitrogen
• carbon dioxide
• argon

How many oxygen atoms does a molecule of ozone contain?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

The Earth acts like a greenhouse that catches and traps heat from the sun.

• true
• false

What does this diagram illustrate?

Where is the ozone located?

• troposphere
• stratosphere
• mesosphere
• thermosphere

This traps heat and absorbs gases (carbon dioxide, methane..) and keeps the earth warm. Allowing heat to go back into space prevents Earth from becoming too warm

• Ozone Layer
• The Greenhouse Effect
• Greenhouse Gases
• Mesosphere

What do we call gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and ozone in the atmosphere which are involved in the greenhouse effect?  

• Bad Gases
• Ozone Gases
• Greenhouse Gases
• Atmospheric Gases

What chemical is responsible for breaking up the ozone?

• CFCs
• Carbon Dioxide
• Nitrogen
• Oxygen

The Montreal Protocol banned the use of CFCs. What so they hope this will do for the ozone layer?

• Deplete it completely
• Make the ozone hole smaller
• Make the ozone hole larger
• Thin the layer to allow more gas to escape
