Warm up: Describe what is happening in the image to the right. Shortwave energy from the Sun is being absorbed by the Earth. The Earth is emitting this heat (longwave energy) into the atmosphere. Gases in the atmosphere are absorbing and reemiting the longwave energy (heat). Part 1 - Vocabula...
Answer Key for Greenhouse Effect Assessment Questions. 1. What is the major cause of the greenhouse effect? a) Gases in the atmosphere absorb heat from the Sun. b) Gases in the atmosphere absorb heat from the Earth's surface. (correct) c) Gases in the ozone layer absorb heat from the Sun.
Guiding Questions. • What are greenhouse gasses? • What are the effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere? • Where does most of the energy on earth originate? • What happens to the energy once it reaches earth? • What is the greenhouse effect?
Red italics suggest ways to grade student responses by giving them points for correct or partially correct answers. There are 23 points total on this worksheet. Directions: Open the PhET simulation. On the center of the right-side panel under “Atmosphere during...”, select “Adjustable Concentration”. 1.
18 wrz 2024 · Greenhouse effect, a warming of Earth’s surface and troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere) caused by the presence of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and certain other gases in the air. Of those gases, known as greenhouse gases, water vapor has the largest effect.
The greenhouse effect is the natural process of the atmosphere letting in some of the energy we receive from the Sun (ultraviolet and visible light) and stopping it being transmitted back out into space (infrared radiation or heat).
• How do the physical and digital models of the greenhouse effect reflect what is actually happening on Earth? • Explain greenhouse gases and the basics of climate change in a way that an elementary school child could understand. • Why do scientists and policymakers focus on carbon dioxide as a key driver of climate change?
