EARTH ENERGY: Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse effect is about

• warming the atmosphere because of increased CO₂ levels

• warming the atmosphere because of decreased CO_{2 }levels

• cooing the atmosphere because of increased CO_{2 }levels

• cooling the atmosphere because of decreased CO_{2 }levels

The greenhouse effect is caused by

• more heat arriving at the Earth from the sun

• the Earth releasing more heat at night

• gases in the air trapping heat released by the Earth

The graph shows us that

• the earth temperature is always increasing

• the earth's temperature has steadily increased since 1900

• the earth's temperature has steadily rising since the 1960s

• the earth's temperature decreased during the 19th and 20th centuries

The greenhouse effect comes from

• all heat being released by the earth going back into space

• some of the heat heat being released by the earth going back into space

• some of heat being released by the earth being trapped in the air

• all of heat being released by the earth being trapped in the air

From the information in the graph we can say that:

• power stations produce about 1.5 times the emission of residential activities

• residential activities produces about the same amount of emissions as waste disposal

• fossil fuel retrieval produces more emission than transportation of fuels

• industrial process produce about 5 times the emissions of waste disposal & treatment
