Greenhouse Gases
Where does the heat come from that is trapped by Greenhouse Gases?
What is the sun.
What is emitted from a volcano when it erupts?
What is ashe, gases, and lava.
What is a meteor?
What is a chunk of rock from space that sometimes hit Earth.
What are the elements that make up CO2?
What is Carbon and Oxygen.
What creates ocean currents?
What is wind.
What happens to the heat from the sun when it reaches Earth's Surface?
What is some is absorbed by Earth's surface, the rest is reflected back into space (if no Greenhouse Gases are present).
What is a particulate?
What are tiny particles of solid or liquid materials in the Earth's Atmosphere that reflect sunlight back into space.
What happens to most meteors when the enter Earth's Atmosphere?
What is they burn up.
True or False, Carbon in the carbon cycle moves through the Atmosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere, Hydrosphere, and Astrosphere.
What is false.
Where do cold currents flow to on Earth?
What is the equator.
What do Greenhouse Gases do to the Earths climate and why?
What is Greenhouse gases cause the Earth's climate to heat up because they trap heat from the sun near Earth's surface.
True or False, a volcanoe emits large amounts of Carbon Dioxide during an eruption?
What is false.
What materials are thrown into the atmosphere after a meteoric impact?
What is Gas and dust.
What happens when Carbon Dioxide is released into the environment?
The climate heats up due to the Greenhouse Effect.
Where do warm waters flow on Earth?
What are the poles.
A Greenhouse Gas that is oderless, invisible, and poisonous.
What is Methane.
What happens to the Earth's climate when the particulate level is high and why?
What is the temperature drops because the suns light is reflected back into space instead of striking the Earth.
What are some of the long term effects of a meteroric impact?
It would inhibit the process of photosyntheses, climate instability, and even mass extinction (Dinosaurs).
There is _____ times more Carbon stored in the the oceans then in Earth's Atmosphere.
What is 50.
This ocean current flows along the eastern coast of North America and carries warm water from the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea north toward the North Pole.
What is the Gulf Stream.
Volcanoes release which Greenhouse Gases?
What is Carbon Dioxide, and Sulfur Dioxide.
From what we learned in our lab tell me the short and long term effects on our climate after a volcanic eruption.
What is in the short term particulate levels are high, CO2 levels are low, and the temperature drops. In the long term Particulates drop, CO2 stays the same, and the temperature returns to normal.
From what we learned in our lab tell me the short and long term effects on our climate after a meteoric impact.
What is in the short term particulate levels are high, CO2 levels are high, and the temperature drops. In the long term Particulates drop, CO2 stays high, and the temperature goes way up.
Give at least 4 ways is Carbon cycled on Earth?
What is plants preforming photosynthesis, other living things eating plants or animals, respiration or transpiration, when organisms die and decompose, burning fossil fules, volcanic eruptions, and forest fires.
What changes the ocean currents.
Global warming leads to more rain in the North Atlantic. This causes glaciers to melt. This adds fresh water to the ocean. This disrupts sea ice formation and the sinking of cold salty water needed for deep ocean currents.
