ET Effect of Greenhouse gasses on Climate 4/22/24

What is a flammable gas that forms from decaying organic matter and material in land fills?

• methane

• propane

• oxygen

• carbon

What layer of the atmosphere blocks the sun's harmful ultra violet (UV) rays from Earth?

• troposphere

• mesosphere

• ozone layer

• exosphere

This is a greenhouse gas released into the atmosphere from farms that apply large amounts of nitrogen-based fertilizers to help crops grow.

• nitrous oxide

• carbon dioxide

• H2O

• greenhouse gasses

How does the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere affect the atmosphere's temperature?

• If greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increase, they trap more heat and warm the atmosphere.
• If greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increase, they trap less heat and the atmosphere cools.
• If greenhouse gases in the atmosphere decrease, they trap more heat and warm the atmosphere. 
• If greenhouse gases increase, the atmosphere will turn green in color.

What are some effects of global winds and convection currents in the atmosphere?

• Earthquakes

• Tsunamis

• Transporting humidity (water) and heat around the Earth

• Global Warming

What would happen if we didn't have ANY greenhouse gasses?

• It would be too cold for people to live on Earth

• It would be too hot for people to live on Earth

• The temperature of the Earth would be the same as it is now

• We would have more helium and we would all talk with funny voices
