Question:

Give the steps of the greenhouse gas effect

Author: ruby hatton



Answer:

- energy from the sun travels to earth as short wavelength -some is reflected back into space but most passes through the atmosphere as short wavelength radiation doesn't react strongly with the gas molecules in the atm -energy from radiation is absorbed but the earths surface -the surface radiates the energy as long wavelength - some long wavelength radiation reacts with the greenhouse gas molecules in the atm -bc energy is trapped in the atm, it causes temp of atm to increase
