Ice core data from Greenland indicates there was a time period on Earth when the atmosphere changed so more energy entered the Earth 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 was redirected (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 was redirected (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.

Geologists have found rocks showing that about 700 million years ago, there was a time period when the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreased. How did energy in the Earth system change during this time?
There was more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth's surface, because more energy entered than exited.
There was more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth's surface, because less energy entered than exited.
There was less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth's surface, because more energy entered than exited.
There was less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth's surface, because less energy entered than exited.

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 during this time?
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 more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth's surface.
Methane increased, leading to less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth's surface.
