How do greenhouse gases contribute to the warming of the Earth's atmosphere?

Greenhouse gases absorb cold energy.
Option
Greenhouse gases absorb heat energy.
Option
Greenhouse gases absorb air.
Option
Greenhouse gases absorb water.
Option
6

Which accurately describes how human activities influence atmospheric conditions?

Humans using fertilizers release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Option
Humans walking to work release nitrous oxide into the atmosphere.
Option
Humans burning fossil fuels release methane gas into the atmosphere.
Option
Humans using coolants release fluorinated gases into the atmosphere.

Read the scenario.Katie has been assigned to research about greenhouse gases. She chose to investigate methane gas. She knew that methane gas was produced naturally through the digestion of grass from grazing animals, like cows. She was surprised to find out that methane gas is also produced from landfills. This would add more methane gas into the atmosphere.

What happens if you just feed cows corn?
Option
What could happen if you get rid of all the cows?
Option
How much methane gas is added to the atmosphere from landfills?
Option
Is the methane produced in landfills the same as produced by cows?
Option
12

Which order of events represents how greenhouse gases trap infrared radiation (IR)?

IR release, IR absorption, bond movement, more IR absorbed
Option
IR absorption, bond movement, more IR absorbed, IR release
Option
more IR absorbed, IR release, IR absorption, bond movement
Option
bond movement, more IR absorbed, IR release, IR absorption
Option
14

Study the graph the shows the change of albedo in a forest.

Question illustration
The temperature will decrease.
Option
The temperature will increase.
Option
The temperature will not change.
Option
The change in albedo does not affect temperature.
Option
16

Study the graph of the sea ice in the Artic Ocean.

Question illustration
The temperature will increase.
Option
The temperature will decrease.
Option
The temperature will remain the same.
Option
Albedo has no effect on temperature.
Option
18

Study the graph.

Question illustration
As the amount of carbon dioxide increases, temperature change has increased.
Option
As the temperature has decreased, the amount of carbon dioxide has also increased.
Option
As the amount of carbon dioxide decreases, temperature change has increased.
Option
There is no correlation between carbon dioxide amounts and temperature change.
Option
20

Which activity releases nitrous oxide into the atmosphere?

planting flowers in a pot
Option
taking a hike in the forest
Option
the production of electronic devices
Option
crossing the street
Option

Read the scenario.Armando is making a presentation on how greenhouse gases affect Earth's climate. He learned that the way a gas's shape and structure, like carbon dioxide's three atoms and double bonds, affects how much infrared energy it can absorb. This energy absorption impacts temperature and climate.

A
How does a change in carbon dioxide’s shape affect Earth’s climate?
B
Can any three-carbon molecule with triple bonds affect the Earth’s climate?
C
Is the ability to absorb infrared energy linked to the double bonds of a molecule?
D
How are the two oxygen atoms and lone carbon atom in carbon dioxide bonded?
