Greenhouse Effect Quiz

In the Greenhouse Model what part of the model is the same as the Atmosphere around Earth?

• The Ground in the Greenhouse

• The plants in the Greenhouse

• The glass walls of the Greenhouse

• The magnetic waves from the sun

In the Greenhouse Model what part of the model is the same as the surface of Earth?

• The Ground in the Greenhouse

• The plants in the Greenhouse

• The glass walls of the Greenhouse

• Everything in the Greenhouse except the Greenhouse itself

Why do the arrows inside of the Greenhouse model stop inside.

• Because they are tiny microwaves and they can't get out

• Because they are larger thermal waves and they are trapped by the glass

• Because they only show the thermal waves until they hit the glass

• The waves run out of energy

The picture of the Greenhouse Model has one major problem with it that is not consistent with the real world

• The snowman would be melting in real life.

• The thermal waves would be bouncing all around the inside of the Greenhouse

• The color of the sky is not really blue because the Electromagnetic waves would be filtered out of the sky.

• The model doesn't show that some of the thermal waves would be passing through the glass just like they pass through our atmosphere.

Electromagnetic waves from the sun are just like thermal waves

• True they are both heat waves

• False electromagnetic waves can pass through our atmosphere and some thermal waves are trapped by our atmosphere

• It depends on the time of day because wavelengths get shorter in the morning and afternoon.

Electromagnetic waves from the sun are large waves.

• True they are the same size as thermal waves

• False Electromagnetic waves are much smaller and pass through our atmosphere

• It depends on the time of day

Electromagnetic waves from the sun are small waves that pass through our atmosphere on their way to Earth's surface

• True

• False

• It depends on the time of day

Why do you think the illustrator put the Snowman in the picture.

• Because she loves snowmen

• Because she wanted to show how cold it is outside.

• Because she wanted us to understand that a greenhouse can be warm because of trapped thermal energy even in the winter.

• Because she wanted us to know that outside the greenhouse it is very cold.
