Greenhouse Effect

The energy from the absorbed radiation heats the gases in the air and the gases hold the heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. This process is called the

Which are considered Greenhouse Gasses?

• Sodium Chloride, Sodium dioxide, methanicane, and other gases in the air are considered Greenhouse Gases

• Sodium Choride and smoky gasses

• Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases in the air

• Oxygen and Triglyceride

How are humans contributing to the Greenhouse Effect

• By increasing the rate of chemical and mechanical weathering

• By shopping too much

• By watching Netflix on the weekends and eating strawberry popcorn all day

• By increasing Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

The greenhouse effect.....

• Protects the ocean from excessive evaporation rates

• Is a place where people grow plants because the temperature is regulated

• Keeps Earth’s atmosphere at a temperature that is comfortable for most living things

What would happen if the Ozone layer did not exist in the Stratosphere?

• Temperatures in the troposphere would decrease

• People would experience high temperatures

• Greenhouse gasses would increase

• nothing at all.

Infrared Radiation that is not absorbed by Greenhouse Gases is reflected back ....

• to the Earth

• to space

• to the toposphere

• to the ocean

 Increased carbon dioxide may cause global warming by

• reducing the amount of oxygen in the air.

• allowing more sunlight into the atmosphere.

• trapping more heat in the atmosphere.

• reflecting more sunlight from clouds.

Gas in Earth's atmosphere that absorbs most of the damaging high-energy UV radiation from the Sun is known as

• atmosphere

• climate

• ozone

• air pressure

How are a greenhouse and Earth's atmosphere most alike?

• Both prevent harmful radiation from reaching Earth.

• Both trap heat inside and prevent it from escaping.

• Both lower the temperature to be suitable for life

• Both contain large amounts of carbon dioxide

How is the atmosphere involved in the

greenhouse effect?

• Gases in the atmosphere trap and redirect heat

  reflected from the surface of Earth.

• Heat from the surface of Earth is absorbed by

  gases and radiated into space.

• Gases magnify the heat of the Sun as it passes

  down through Earth's atmosphere.

• It transforms light energy from the Sun into

  thermal energy that warms the surface of Earth.
