The graph shows the increase in atmospheric

carbon dioxide concentration over several

decades.

Increasing carbon dioxide levels will directly affect

The graph shows changes in carbon dioxide

(CO2) concentrations and surface temperatures

on Earth from the years 1880 to 2000.

Why do carbon dioxide concentrations and

surface temperatures show the relationship seen

in the graph?

• because lower carbon dioxide levels mean more

  heat is retained in Earth's atmosphere

• because higher carbon dioxide levels mean

  more heat is retained in Earth's atmosphere

• because higher carbon dioxide levels mean less

  heat is retained in Earth's atmosphere

What is the greenhouse effect?

• the effect of the Sun's radiation on the

  chlorophyll in plant cells

• the economic effect of climate change on the

  United States' government

• the increase of Earth's temperature due to heat

  energy being trapped by certain atmospheric

  molecules

• the decrease in the temperature of Earth's

  ocean currents due to atmospheric gases

  blocking the Sun's radiation
