Greenhouse Gases
This is the most common greenhouse gas released by burning fossil fuels.
Carbon dioxide
A process that removes carbon from the air is called a carbon ________.
Sink
This is the layer where all weather happens.
Troposphere
PPM stands for parts per ________.
Million
The Greenhouse Effect traps this type of energy.
Heat/Infrared
These human-made gases come from AC units and refrigerators
F-gases
A process that adds carbon to the air is called a carbon ________.
Source
This layer contains the Ozone Layer.
Stratosphere
PPB stands for parts per ________.
Billion
This "layer" in the Stratosphere is NOT the same as the Greenhouse effect.
Ozone
This gas is produced by cows and landfills.
Methane
This biological process is the #1 way carbon is removed from the air.
Photosynthesis
This is the middle layer and the coldest.
Mesosphere
This gas is roughly 80 times "stronger" at trapping heat than CO2.
Methane
If we increase greenhouse gases, the global temperature does this.
Increases
This gas comes mostly from fertilizers and farming.
Nitrous Oxide
Burning coal or gas to run a car is called this process.
Combustion
This is the outermost layer before you hit space.
Exosphere (Thermosphere also accepted)
We measure Methane in PPB because it is ________ than CO2.
Less common
The Greenhouse effect is compared to this item you may use to stay warm.
Blanket
This gas is actually the most abundant greenhouse gas, but it cycles very fast.
Water Vapor
When an animal dies and rots, it releases carbon through this process.
Decomposition
As you go higher in the Troposphere, the temperature does this.
Decreases
Even though Methane is stronger, we worry more about CO2 because it lasts ________ in the air.
Longer
Without any greenhouse effect, the Earth would be this.
Too cold/frozen
