Greenhouse Gases and Ozone Layer

Increased carbon dioxide may cause global warming by

• allowing more sunlight into the atmosphere.

• reflecting more sunlight from clouds.

• reducing the amount of oxygen in the air.   

• trapping more heat in the atmosphere.

• Very Hot

The text describes the effect of greenhouse gases on the Earth. What effect do these gases have on the Earth?

• These gases cool the surface of the Earth and help it stay at a comfortable temperature

• These gases clean the surface of the Earth and lower the amount of pollution on the ground

• These gases freeze the surface of the Earth and help create icebergs in different parts of the ocean

• These gases warm the surface of the Earth and help it stay at a comfortable, warm average temperature
