The Greenhouse Effect

Which gas of the Earth's atmosphere is classified as a greenhouse gas?

• Nitrogen

• Carbon Dioxide

Greenhouse gases are mostly absorbing this type of radiation.

• shortwave

• longwave

• ultra-violet

• blue

Why does too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere cause climate change?

• It cools down our planet.

• It blocks out UV rays.

• It traps heat and warms up our planet.

• It lets sunlight escape.

These are all important greenhouse gases.

• Oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen

• Carbon dioxide, helium and clouds

• Carbon dioxide, water vapour and methane

• Methane, ethane and hydrogen

The greenhouse effect is about

• warming the atmosphere because of increased CO₂ levels

• warming the atmosphere because of decreased CO_{2 }levels

• cooing the atmosphere because of increased CO_{2 }levels

• cooling the atmosphere because of decreased CO_{2 }levels

The greenhouse effect comes from

• all heat being released by the earth going back into space

• some of the heat heat being released by the earth going back into space

• some of heat being released by the earth being trapped in the air

• all of heat being released by the earth being trapped in the air

The greenhouse effect is caused by

• more heat arriving at the Earth from the sun

• the Earth releasing more heat at night

• gases in the air trapping heat released by the Earth

Which of the gases is NOT a greenhouse gas?

• water vapour

• carbon monoxide

• carbon dioxide

• methane

If we didn't have the 'greenhouse effect' at all, Earth would

• have volcanoes erupting everywhere

• Cool to a point where we could not live here

• Catch on fire

• blow up from being hit by meteors

A super powerful greenhouse gas that traps up to 4 times more heat in Earth's atmosphere is:

• oxygen

• methane

• water vapor

• gasoline
