Which of the following explanations best shows the role of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide absorbs the energy that is reemitted by Earth and redirects it back to Earth making Earth warmer.

Carbon dioxide does not interact with the energy entering or exiting the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide reflects the exiting energy back to Earth and traps it into the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide absorbs the energy that is reemitted by Earth. Carbon dioxide traps this energy, keeping Earth cooler.

How does energy interact with sulfur dioxide in our Earth’s system?

Sulfur dioxide stops energy from entering the Earth system by redirecting energy that would have entered the system.

Sulfur dioxide transmits energy when entering the Earth’s system by allowing the energy to pass through the molecule.

Sulfur dioxide traps some energy and holds it in the atmosphere.

When energy hits sulfur dioxide, more energy is created.

What is one cause for the rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today?

There are more people doing things that use combustion.

Riding your bike instead of using a car.

There are some bacteria that release methane into the atmosphere. Scientists think that if the number of these bacteria decreased, the amount of methane in the atmosphere would decrease. What would happen to energy in the Earth system if the atmosphere had less methane?Energy in the Earth system would

decrease , because less energy would enter than exit. This is because less exiting energy would beredirected (bounced) back toward Earth.

decrease , because more energy would enter than exit. This is because less exiting energy would beredirected (bounced) back toward Earth.

decrease , because less energy would enter than exit. This is because less energy would be trapped by gases and held in the atmosphere.

increase , because more energy would enter than exit. This is because less energy from the sun would beredirected (bounced) back toward outer space.

Scientists have tools that measure the amount of energy entering and exiting the Earth system. Recently, more energy entered the system than exited. What might scientists expect to see in the atmosphere, and what has changed about energy in the Earth system?

Methane increased , leading to more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth's surface.

Methane decreased , leading to more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth's surface.

Methane decreased , leading to less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth's surface.

Methane increased , leading to less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth's surface.

Ice core data from Greenland indicates there was a time period on Earth when the atmosphere changed so more energy entered the system than exited. What change to the atmosphere could have caused this and how would it have affected energy on Earth during that time?

Carbon dioxide increased , leading to more energy in the Earth system because more exiting energy wasredirected (bounced) back toward Earth.

Carbon dioxide increased , leading to more energy in the Earth system because more energy was trapped by gases and held in the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide decreased, leading to less energy in the Earth system because less exiting energy wasredirected (bounced) back toward Earth.

Carbon dioxide decreased , leading to more energy in the Earth system because less energy from the sun was redirected (bounced) back toward outer space.

A climatologist is creating a simulation for Earth’s climate and is working on how to set it up. One of the options for the simulation is to increase methane in the atmosphere. How should the energy in the Earth system change when the amount of methane in the atmosphere increases? There should be

more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because more energy enters than exits.

more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because less energy enters than exits.

less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because more energy enters than exits.

less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because less energy enters than exits.

From about 120 to 80 million years ago, scientists think that a large amount of carbon dioxide was released from rock on the ocean floor, which led to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. What happened to energy in the Earth system during this time? 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.

decreased , because less energy entered than exited. This is because more energy from the sun wasredirected (bounced) back toward outer space.

Fossil evidence from the time of Tyrannosaurus rex (85–65 million years ago) shows less energy entered the Earth system than exited, even though energy from the sun didn’t change. How might the amount of carbon dioxide changed to cause this, and how would that have changed the energy absorbed by Earth’s surface??

Carbon dioxide decreased so there was less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth's surface.

Carbon dioxide decreased so there was more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth's surface.

Carbon dioxide increased so there was more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth's surface.

Carbon dioxide increased so there was less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth's surface.
