Climate researchers in Greenland can use ice core samples to tell them about methane in the atmosphere in the past. Researchers found a sample that showed a time period when methane in the atmosphere increased. What happened to amount of energy absorbed by Earth's surface during this time?
During this time, the amount of energy absorbed by Earth’s surface
stayed at a constant level.
changed unpredictably.
increased.
decreased.

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

A climatologist is creating a simulation for Earth’s climate and is working on how to set it up. One of the options for the simulation is to increase methane in the atmosphere. How should the energy in the Earth system change when the amount of methane in the atmosphere increases?
There should be
more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because less energy enters than exits.
more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because more energy enters than exits.
less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because more energy enters than exits.
less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because less energy enters than exits.
