NGSS.MS-PS4-2

The balance of solar energy absorbed at Earth's surface, in the atmosphere, or reflected into space, is known as..

• The electromagnetic spectrum

• Earth's energy budget

• The greenhouse effect

Tags

NGSS.HS-ESS2-4

If there wasn't a balance of solar energy in our atmosphere, it would be either too warm or too cold for life to exist.

• True

• False

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS2-6

Excess greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere can cause an increase in Earth's temperatures.

• True

• False

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS3-5

Multiple response: Choose all of the following greenhouse gases that may increase the greenhouse effect.

• carbon dioxide

• hydrogen

• methane

• oxygen

NGSS.MS-ESS2-5

NGSS.MS-ESS2-6

Convection takes place because

• warm air is heavier than cold air.

• warm air and cold air have the same density.

• cold air is more dense than warm air.

• cold air is less dense than warm air.
