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 the amount of energy absorbed by Earth’s surface during this time?

stayed at a constant level.

changed unpredictably.

increased.

decreased.

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?

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.
