What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
What is the intense heat beneath earths surface can be a source of?
radiation & gravity
What natural warming of both earth lower atmosphere and the earths surface is the blank effect?
greenhouse effect
What is a reason that the ozone near the earths surface is dangerous?
Ozone at ground level is a pollutant. It is a greenhouse gas.
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
Is the greenhouse effect more pronounced for florists or earths surface?
The greenhouse effect is more pronounced for the earth's surface. Heat rising from the surface is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases heat the air around them as well, also, as the earth' surface again.
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere the greenhouse?
The sun.
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere and greenhouse?
The sun.
What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?
the greenhouse
What does the earths surface emit?
Infrared radiation.
The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
the answer is radiation
Why does the greenhouse effect increase earths average temperature?
The earth has a greenhouse effect that keeps the planet warm. This is natural, supported by the carbon and water cycles, and has been going on for millions of years. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane from human activities mean the earth is experiencing an enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Why is dioxide important to life?
Carbon dioxide acts as a greenhouse gas and retains heat radiation from the sun, which, combined with other greenhouse gases helps to maintain the earths surface temperature. Without the presence of CO2 in the atmosphere, most of the solar radiation would not be retained and thus the surface temperature would be very low and unable to sustain human life.
Why are carbon dioxide water vapor and other greenhouse gases important to life on Earths surface?
They absorb radiant energy emitted by Earths surface
