How do Greenhouse Gases affect the Atmosphere and Earth
Greenhouse gasses can make holes in this part of the atmosphere that protects us from ultraviolet rays.
What is the Ozone layer?
This is the largest in quantity of all of the greenhouse gasses.
What is Carbon Dioxide?
This is one of the largest and most known ways humans release greenhouse gasses.
What is Burning Fossil Fuels?
These events cause molten lava and greenhouse gasses to spew for mountains
What are Volcanic Eruptions?
These are alternate types of energy to replace fossil fuels.
What is Clean/Renewable Energy?
The greenhouse gas effect has caused these to begin to melt.
What are the Polar Ice Caps?
This is the gas that is the most effective at trapping heat.
What is Methane?
This is when humans cut down too many trees and more carbon is able to remain in the atmosphere.
What is Deforestation?
These events can burn down large and release greenhouse gasses.
What are Wildfires?
These types of transportation use electric power instead of the fossil fuel, gasoline.
What are EVs? (Electric Vehicles)
These types of rays are released back into the atmosphere after the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface.
What are Infrared Rays?
This is the greenhouse gas also commonly referred to as laughing gas.
What is Nitrous Oxide?
These are places where human manufacture goods and release carbon and other greenhouse gasses through smokestacks.
What are Factories.
When animals begin to break down they will release carbon.
What is Decomposition?
This is an alternative to throwing things away that will allow them to be reused.
What is Recycling?
Dry periods caused by high heat and little rainfall that are becoming more prevalent with the greenhouse gas effect.
What are droughts?
These are man made greenhouse gas emotions that are used to power things like refrigerators and air conditioning.
What are hydrofluorocarbons?
We use these things too move, but they also release a lot of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
What is a Car? (or other transportation methods)
This is the largest sink for carbon and can release some back into the atmosphere.
What is the Ocean?
These are a power source that can use the sun to make power.
What are Solar Panels?
The greenhouse gas effect has caused these typically normal occurring events to become more violent and dangerous.
What are storms?
This is a highly toxic greenhouse gas to inhale.
What is nitrogen trifluoride?
When humans use resources more than they should, it releases greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
What is Overconsumption?
When organisms breathe they do this and release carbon into the atmosphere.
What is Respiration?
These large alternate energy source use the wind to make power.
What are Wind Turbines?
