During the first 10 minutes of Mr. G's Greenhouse Effect demo, which tank heated up more quickly?

• The temperature in both tanks increased approximately equally during the first 10 minutes.

• The temperature in the covered tank increased more rapidly than the open tank during the first 10 minutes

• The temperature in the open tank increased more rapidly than the closed tank during the first 10 minutes

• I didn't watch the demo. I should probably go do that.

What is the primary role of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere?

• Greenhouse gases generate extra heat in our atmosphere, making the sun more efficient

• Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, preventing some heat from leaving to space

• Greenhouse gases improve the quality of the air, removing pollutants and purifying the atmosphere

• Greenhouse gases block harmful solar radiation from reaching Earth's surface
