Source: adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere Sink: absorbs greenhouse gases from the atmosphere Natural or caused by human activities
7
Natural sources include volcanic eruptions & cellular respiration
9
Produced naturally by nitrogen-fixing bacteria

Ozone (O 3 ) is located in the stratosphere & makes up the ozone layer which blocks harmful UV radiation Ozone hole in Antarctic Ground-level ozone forms smog
11
Leading cause of ozone depletion in the ozone layer
12

13
Increase in global average temperatures
14
Ability of a substance to warm the atmosphere by absorbing thermal energy The contribution of a particular gas to global warming depends on: the concentration of the gas in the atmosphere the ability of the gas to absorb heat the length of time the gas remains in the atmosphere
