10:23 AM Unit 7: Water Cycle and Climate Vocabulary Global Warming: an increase in average Earth temperatures Greenhouse Gases: infrared radiation is absorbed by carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and other gases in the atmosphere Global Warming: an increase in average Earth temperatures Greenhouse Gases: infrared radiation is absorbed by carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and other gases in the atmosphere

10:23 AM Energy Everything you do or that is done in the universe, involves the use of energy. Unit 7: Water Cycle and Climate
4
10:23 AM Energy from the Sun Unit 7: Water Cycle and Climate
5
10:23 AM Energy Transaction In any energy transfer, there is a reduction in energy with heat as a by product. What wavelength is reflected from visible light?

10:23 AM Greenhouse Effect Earth’s surface radiation consists mostly of long infrared radiation, which can be absorbed by greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide Water vapor Methane Other gases in the atmosphere Earth’s surface radiation consists mostly of long infrared radiation, which can be absorbed by greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide Water vapor Methane Other gases in the atmosphere Unit 7: Water Cycle and Climate

10:23 AM How does the Greenhouse Work? Absorption of infrared warms the atmosphere and causes it to act as a blanket Unit 7: Water Cycle and Climate

10:23 AM What Happens The overall effect is a global temperature between 55 o F and 60 o F. It would otherwise average 0 o F. The overall effect is a global temperature between 55 o F and 60 o F. It would otherwise average 0 o F. Unit 7: Water Cycle and Climate

10:23 AM Global Warming In recent years, there has been a concern that the greenhouse effect may be causing global warming. This is an increase in temperature. Unit 7: Water Cycle and Climate

10:23 AM Fossil Fuels The burning of fossil fuels releases additional carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Unit 7: Water Cycle and Climate Above is a traffic jam in China that lasted over 9 days.

10:23 AM Sources of Greenhouse Gasses Water vapor is the most effective greenhouse gas. Methane, the gas with the greatest affinity for warming the atmosphere comes form cows. August 14, 2015Unit 7: Water Cycle and Climate
