Too Cold to Support Life
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
The process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb thermal energy and radiate it back to earth is called...
Thermal effect
Greenhouse effect
Global Warming
Radiation Balance
Use the diagram to answer question which contains information about greenhouse gases. What gas is the most abundant greenhouse gas?
Fluorinated Gases
Nitrous Oxide
Carbon Dioxide
Methane
The energy from the absorbed radiation heats the gases in the air and the gases hold the heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. This process is called the
Electromagnetic Waves
Greenhouse Effect
Heat Transfer
El Niño
Which are considered Greenhouse Gasses?
Sodium Chloride, Sodium dioxide, methanicane, and other gases in the air are considered Greenhouse Gases
Sodium Choride and smoky gasses
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases in the air
Oxygen and Triglyceride
Infrared radiation from Greenhouse Gases is absorbed by which one of the following gasses? Choose the one that has all gasses.
Sodium Chloride, methane, Chloroform
Water Vapor, Methane, Carbon Dioxide.
the Ozone Layer
How are humans contributing to the Greenhouse Effect
By increasing the rate of chemical and mechanical weathering
By shopping too much
By watching Netflix on the weekends and eating strawberry popcorn all day
By increasing Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Which of the following gases is primarily responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Methane (CH4)
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
What is the primary function of the ozone layer in Earth's atmosphere?
To trap heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect
To absorb harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun
To reflect sunlight and cool the Earth
To provide oxygen for living organisms
Which of the following is a consequence of increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Decreased global temperatures
Increased sea levels
Thicker ozone layer
Reduced air pollution
How do greenhouse gases contribute to global warming?
By reflecting sunlight away from the Earth
By absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation
By increasing the Earth's albedo
By depleting the ozone layer
