The term “Greenhouse Effect” describes
the trapping of heat energy in the stratosphere by nitrogen
occupational diseases of florists
the trapping of heat energy in the troposhere by certain gaseous molecules
efforts by society to support environmental issues regarding the greenhouse gases
All of the following are greenhouse gases, EXCEPT
nitrous oxide
water vapor
carbon dioxide
nitrogen
Which of the following is NOT an effect of Global Warming?
the earth’s rotation will slow down and eventually stop
some areas will experience serious droughts
polar ice caps will melt
coastal regions will be covered by rising sea levels
What is Global Warming?
decreasing temperature rates
the decreasing temperature of the earth
increasing rain rates on earth
increasing temperature in the earth’s atmosphere
The threat of global warming can be addressed by
using energy more efficiently
shifting to renewable resources
reducing deforestation
slowing population growth
Which gas contributes to the natural greenhouse effect?
oxygen
nitrogen
carbon dioxide
hydrogen
How do greenhouse gases affect Earth’s temperature?
by cooling the atmosphere
by reflecting sunlight
by trapping heat
by reducing solar radiation
70% of the incoming solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth’s surface, where does the other 30% go to?
it is reflected back to space and absorbed by the satellites
it is reflected back into space by clouds and the earth’s surface
it is reflected back into space and affects the air molecules
it does not reflect back to space
To maintain the Earth’s temperature balance, what is emitted by the sun?
thermal radiation is emitted in a form of infrared
gaseous molecules that balances the earth’s temperature is emitted
solar radiation that are evenly distributed is emitted
heated molecules are emitted throughout the earth
The earth’s energy balance does not influence the temperature and density of seawater.
True
False
