Climate scientists are working on a computer simulation to help them understand Earth’s climate. Looking at one period of time in the simulation, they see that more energy entered the Earth system than exited. How could the amount of methane have changed to cause this, and what effect would this have on energy in the Earth system?
Methane increased, leading to more energy in the Earth system because more exiting energy was redirected (bounced) back toward Earth.
Methane increased, leading to more energy in the Earth system because more energy was trapped by gases and held in the atmosphere.
Methane decreased, leading to less energy in the Earth system because less exiting energy was redirected (bounced) back toward Earth.
Methane decreased, leading to less energy in the Earth system because less energy from the sun was redirected (bounced) back toward outer space.

In the last 5 million years of the Permian period in Earth’s history, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased. How did energy in the Earth system change during this time?
There was more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because less energy entered than exited.
There was more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because more energy entered than exited.
There was less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because more energy entered than exited.
There was less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because less energy entered than exited.

What happened to energy in the Earth system when the amount of methane in the atmosphere increased?
Energy in the Earth system
increased, because more energy entered than exited. This is because more exiting energy was redirected (bounced) back toward Earth.
increased, because less energy entered than exited. This is because more exiting energy was redirected (bounced) back toward Earth.
increased, because more energy entered than exited. This is because more energy was trapped by gases and held in the atmosphere.
