Greenhouse Effect

The diagram represents solar energy that is absorbed by Earth's land and water surfaces and is changed into heat that radiates back into the atmosphere.What is this process called?

• ozone
• radiation
• greenhouse effect
• evaporation

Solar energy is best absorbed by what material?

• dirt
• sand
• snow
• water

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
