Physics - Energy Balance

How will earth's temperature rise as the carbon-dioxide levels increase?

• At a slow pace as the carbon-dioxide levels rise.

• At a very high rate while carbon-dioxide levels decrease.

• It will not rise.

What is energy balance?

• When the temperature is not rising at all.

• When the radiation coming from the sun is mostly reflected back in space

• When the radiation from the sun is entirely absorbed.

How much of the total greenhouse emission is contributed by transportation?

• 24%

• 27%

• 13%

How much energy is absorbed by earth?

• 70%

• 30%

• 72%

What is energy imbalance?

• When the temperature is not getting affected.

• When there is more carbon-dioxide absorbed by the earth's surface than is reflected .

• When there is more carbon-dioxide reflected by the earth's surface than is absorbed .

What are 3 things we can do in our day to day lives to solve for carbon emissions?
