Brainstorming
6
The menu for today 6/26/2013 Greenhouse effect Ozone depletion Global warming Weather patterns changing
7
78% nitrogen 20.6% oxygen < 1% argon 0.4% water vapor 0.036% carbon dioxide traces gases: Ne, He, Kr, H, O 3 Methane, Nitrous Oxide
8
Greenhouse effect Heat from the planets surface is absorbed by greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions
10
Selected Greenhouse Gases Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) –Source: Fossil fuel burning, deforestation Anthropogenic increase: 30% i Average atmospheric residence time: 500 years
13
Selected Greenhouse Gases Methane (CH 4 ) –Source: Rice cultivation, cattle & sheep ranching, decay from landfills, mining Anthropogenic increase: 145% i Average atmospheric residence time: 7-10 years
14
Selected Greenhouse Gases Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) –Source: Industry and agriculture (fertilizers) Anthropogenic increase: 15% i Average atmospheric residence time: 140-190 years
15
Water Vapor Selected Greenhouse Gases
16
1. Shorter, high Energy wavelengths Hit the earths Surface 2. Incoming energy Is converted to heat
17
3. Longer, infrared Wavelengths hit Greenhouse gas Molecules in the atmosphere 4. Greenhouse gas Molecules in the Atmosphere emit Infrared radiation Back towards earth
18
Summary Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation and prevent it from escaping to space. Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are very good at capturing energy at wavelengths that other compounds miss
19
ozone layer layer in Earth's atmosphere which absorbs most of the Sun's UV radiation
20
Ozone depletion a steady decline of about 4% per decade in the total volume of ozone in Earth's stratosphere (the ozone layer
21
ozone-depleting substances. CFCs, freons, halons refrigerants, propellants (in aerosol applications), and solvents
23
Global warming the rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation
24
Who has been paying attention WHY?
25
Greenhouse Effect & Global Warming The “greenhouse effect” & global warming are not the same thing. –Global warming refers to a rise in the temperature of the surface of the earth An increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases leads to an increase in the magnitude of the greenhouse effect. (Called enhanced greenhouse effect) –This results is global warming
26
Effects of global warming
27
Melting of ice/North and south pole change salt and fresh water variables
