1. What is the Greenhouse Effect?
Visible light (SHORT WAVE ENERGY) passes through the atmosphere (atm)
Page 14

2. What is the Greenhouse Effect?
Earth’s surface absorbs the energy and heats up
Page 14

3. What is the Greenhouse Effect?
Earth’s surface reradiates the heat as infrared energy (long wave)
Page 14

4. What is the Greenhouse Effect?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb the terrestrial radiation and this heats the Earth
Page 14

5. What is the Greenhouse Effect?
Visible light is allowed to pass through the atmosphere
Surface absorbs the energy
Earth’s surface reradiates infrared energy
Infrared is absorbed by Greenhouse gases

6. Why is it called the Greenhouse Effect
Analogy a car during the summer

7. Life on Earth due to Greenhouse Effect
The Greenhouse Effect is GOOD!!
Earth is in the “Goldilocks Planet” – just right – average temperature is 59° F (w/o GE our average temperature would be -3° F) BRRRRRRRR!
Mars’ average temperature is -67° F (1/5 of our atmosphere)
Venus’ average temperature, due to GE on steroids, is 855° F. Super Sweaty!!
Mercury’s temperature 333° F

CH4 o3
H2O
Earth gives of long waves ( infrared energy)

9. Greenhouse gases absorb the infrared rays and trap the heat causing the overall temperature to increase. (global warming)
The Greenhouse Effect

10. What is the Greenhouse Effect?

12. Page 14
GREENHOUSE GASES
THE BURNING OF FOSSIL FUELS is increasing the amounts of atmospheric CARBON DIOXIDE, AND METHANE

13. Global Warming Is the increase in Earth’s normal surface temperatures
Page 14
Is the increase in Earth’s normal surface temperatures
Caused by anthropogenic activities (human impact) such as:
burning of fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal, etc) for energy

14. Global Warming
Page 14
The burning of fossils fuels releases Greenhouse gases into the atmosphere such as: CO2, CH4, NOX, etc
Results an increase of absorption of infrared radiation, thus warming Earth

15. Global Warming
The increasing of the Greenhouse Effect due to anthropogenic activities (human impact)
Due to the burning of fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal, etc)
Fossils fuels release Greenhouse gases into the atmosphere CO2, CH4, NOX, etc
Results an increase of absorption of infrared radiation, thus warming Earth

16. Consequences of Global Warming
Climate Change
Rising Sea levels
The destruction of ecosystems including endangering plant and animal life
Among others

17. Solutions Use Alternative Fuel Sources Conservation Awareness
Spread the Word
Save YOUR Earth before its too late!!!!!!

18. El Nino Effect Is a short term event which is caused by Global Warming

El Nino Effect
Is a short term event which is caused by Global Warming
This warming causes water in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Indonesia to heat up
