I can define greenhouse gases. Learning target I can define greenhouse gases. Today I am… reviewing weather/climate and learning about greenhouse gases. So that I’ll be able to… understand how they contribute to global temperature changes. I’ll know I’ve got it when… I can write at least one sentence defining what greenhouse gases are.

Layers of atmosphere

Troposphere All weather occurs in this layer.

Stratosphere This layer absorbs UV light from the sun.

Mesosphere Meteors or rock fragments burn up in this layer.

Thermosphere Solar activity influences this layer.

Exosphere This layer starts to blend with space.

There is no single climate of the planet. Connecting Climates There is no single climate of the planet. The common trait of all climates is the atmosphere which circulates  gases and particles between all regions.

A group of compounds that can trap heat in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases A group of compounds that can trap heat in the atmosphere.

The greenhouse effect Greenhouses trap the Sun's energy inside and keeps the plants warm, even in winter.

Greenhouse gases 54.7%

30%

0.6%

4.9%

Are greenhouse gases bad? If it were not for greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere, the Earth would be a very cold place. Yes and No

How does vegetation help? Vegetation will take in CO2 during photosynthesis.

How can we reduce GHG? Choose 3! Switch to clean energy Use less energy Plant vegetation Reduce waste Use a bicycle Use public transportation

p. 27 LS of Greenhouse gas notes You need to create a diagram for the greenhouse effect occurring naturally and another diagram for the greenhouse effect with human activity. HOMEWORK: If you do not finish in class
