Question

20 points! < is what I chose. How did I do?

1. The atmosphere on Planet A is about 90% carbon dioxide. The atmosphere on Planet B is about 50% carbon dioxide. Which planet has a higher surface temperature and why?

Planet A has a higher surface temperature due to the higher amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere <
Planet A has a lower surface temperature due to the higher amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Planet B has a higher surface temperature due to the lower amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

2. Methane is the main constituent of natural gas. Choose all the following ways humans contribute to increasing methane gas:

Leaks from natural gas systems
Rotting organic matter in wetlands <
Raising cattle <

3. Pollutants come from:

natural sources
human activities
both natural sources and human activities. <

4. A substance is produced by the combustion of fuels in automobiles. Once in the atmosphere, this substance combine with water to form acid precipitation. What is this substance?

Carbon Dioxide
Nitrogen oxide
Sulfur Dioxide <

5. Why do nitrogen and oxygen atmospheric gases NOT contribute to the greenhouse effect?

They are made up of 3 atom molecules that are bound tightly so they CANNOT vibrate to absorb energy.

6. How do greenhouse gases contribute to global warming?

They reflect infrared energy that reaches Earth's surface and absorb the energy in all directions. This keeps the infrared energy close to the Earth's surface. <
They absorb infrared energy that reflects off Earth's surface and reemit the energy in all directions. This keeps the infrared energy close to the Earth's surface.
They reflect infrared energy that reaches Earth's surface and absorb the energy in all directions. This keeps the infrared energy away from the Earth's surface.

7. Most of the greenhouse gases produced come from which sources? (Check all that apply)

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) from aerosols, cleaning agents, and refrigeration
Fracking <
Methane from rotting plant and animal matter <
Solar energy production
Burning fossil fuels in factories, ships, cars, trains <
Cutting down forests

How did I do?

Answer 1

Greenhouse gases released from the burning of fossil fuels are responsible for global warming.

What is the atmosphere?

The atmosphere is the region of region of the planet above its surface area where gases envelop the planet.

Based on the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming;

• Planet A has a higher surface temperature due to the higher amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.

• Methane is the main constituent of natural gas. Humans increase the contribute to increase in methane gas by raising cattle,

• Pollutants come from both natural sources and human activities.

• Sulfur Dioxide is produced by the combustion of fuels in automobiles. Once in the atmosphere, it combine with water to form acid precipitation.

• Nitrogen and oxygen do not contribute to the greenhouse effect because they are  made up of 2 atom molecules that are bound tightly so they CANNOT vibrate to absorb energy.
• Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming by absorbing infrared energy that reflects off Earth's surface and reemitting the energy in all directions. This keeps the infrared energy close to the Earth's surface.

• Most of the greenhouse gases produced come from burning fossil fuels in factories, ships, cars, trains.

Therefore, pollutants such as greenhouse gases are responsible for global warming.
