Question
Using the information from the reading and your notes, label the steps, a-d, in the diagram of the greenhouse effect to the right using the numbered phrases below. a)____ b)____ c)____ d)____ 1. Trapped logwave radiation (heat) 2. Outgoing Infrared (IR) radiation (long wave, trapped by GH gases) 3. Greenhouse gases 4. Incoming visible light (short wave, no interaction with GH gasses) Explain what a greenhouse gas is. Name two greenhouse gases. In a diagram of greenhouse what would the glass roof represent?| How are the glass in the greenhouse and the gases in the atmosphere similar? Write a sentence explaining the main point of table 1 in the reading. When did greenhouse gasses rise at the fastest rate? a. from 1850 to 1980: (1980 value - 1850 value)/130 years b. from 1980 to 1990: (1990 value - l190 value)/10 years What does this change in the rate of increase in greenhouse gas concentrations indicate? 1850 concentrations are probably similar to what the atmosphere contained before the Industrial Revolution. All these "preindustrial" concentrations are estimates except for CFCs. How do we know that the preindustrial concentration of CFCs was zero?Explanation / Answer
11) a) Incoming visible light
b) outgoing infra radiation (IR)
c) green house gases
d) Trapped longwave radiation

Greenhouse gases are a group of compounds that are able to trap heat (longwave radiation) in the atmosphere, keeping the Earth's surface warmer than it would be if they were not present.1 These gases are the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.2 Increases in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere enhances the greenhouse effect which is creating global warming and consequently climate change.
Greenhouse gases allow sunlight (shortwave radiation) to pass through the atmosphere freely, where it is then partially absorbed by the surface of the Earth.3 But some of this energy bounces back out towards space as heat. Of the heat emitted back to space, some is intercepted and absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This is because these compounds are made of three or more atoms. This molecular structure allows them to absorb some of the escaping heat and then re-emit it towards the Earth which increases global temperatures.
The ability of these gases to trap heat is what causes the greenhouse effect. So the more greenhouse gases you have in the atmosphere, the more heat stays on Earth. This process, which is very similar to the way a greenhouse works, is why the gases that can produce this effect are collectively known as greenhouse gases.Carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons are examples of greenhouse gases.
