3.  (GHG)Greenhouse Gases – Gases in the atmosphere that trap heat in. (Think of a blanket)  H2O, CO2, CH4, N2O  Atmosphere absorbs almost all non-visible light.  UV light is very high energy! (think sunburns) Greenhouse Gas Reading

4. #1

5.  Factors that influence the Greenhouse effect:  Amount of sun that makes it to the surface.  Amount of Greenhouse gases (CO2, H2O, CH4, N2O)  Amount of sunlight absorbed/reflected (albedo) #3

9.  How are Greenhouse Gases like blanket. WHOT Q

10. 4/14 WHOT Teaching Point: Objective: Model, analyze, and describe data for the greenhouse effect.  Responsibilities:  Analysis Questions Due Tomorrow ***Extra Credit Due Friday!!!

11. Warm up - The experiment  If you leave the light on for 20 minutes and come back to measure the temperatures…  Would the temperature… A.Both increase the same. B.Air would increase more. C.CO2 would increase more. WHY? AirCO2

12. Describe the Data  1. Describe in detail the general trend in temperature over time that was observed. This includes the trend when the light is on as well as when it is off.

13. Temperature (F) Time (minutes)

14. Describe the Data  1. Describe in detail the general trend in temperature over time that was observed. This includes the trend when the light is on as well as when it is off.

34. Artis Rams/iStock Snow influences climate because of its insulating properties and because it reflects sunlight. Snow and ice in the Northern Hemisphere are melting, especially in the Arctic. SNOW

35. Decreasing Snow Cover Snow cover has declined in the Northern Hemisphere, especially in spring and summer. Mean monthly snow cover is decreasing by about 1.3% per decade. Northern Hemisphere Spring Snow

36. Snow is also melting earlier in the spring, increasing the snow-free period in the Arctic regions. This changes the average albedo. (decreasing) This change may significantly alter the overall planetary albedo, causing even further warming (positive feedback effect).

37. Snow Outlook for the Future Yellow to red is less snow Blue is increased snow The snow line (minimum elevation for snow cover in the mountains) is projected to rise in many mountain areas. Major reductions in snow cover are projected for mid- latitudes by the end of the this century (2100).
