Energy at Earth's Surface and the Greenhouse Effect

The net transfer of solar energy to Earth's surface is influenced by its passage through the ____.

The net transfer of solar energy is influenced when going through the atmosphere, including impeding the transfer of ____ ____ to Earth's surface due to its interaction with atmospheric ozone, and by the physical characteristics of Earth's surface, including albedo.

Most of the thermal radiation emitted from Earth's surface passes back out into space, but some is reflected or scattered by greenhouse gasses toward Earth; this additional surface warming produces a phenomenon known as the naturally occurring ____ ____.

The movement of atmospheric air masses due to heating and cooling (and Earth's rotation and revolution) cause systematic atmospheric ____.

The behaviour by the global oceans as a heat sink (and Earth's rotation and revolution) cause systematic ocean currents; these are described by the ____ ____ ____ model.
