• Greenhouse effect

• Global warming

• Climate change

• Radiative forcing

Which of these is not a GHG?

• Carbon dioxide

• Methane

• Water Vapour

• Nitrogen

The balance between incoming solar radiation and radiation going into the atmosphere. If it is positive – the Earth’s surface is warmed up.

• Greenhouse effect

• Global warming

• Climate change

• Radiative forcing

What is the term for the percentage of total incoming solar radiation reflected by a surface?

A natural environment, such as a forest or ocean, that absorbs and stores more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it releases.

• Carbon offset

• Carbon sink

• Carbon store

An impact of climate change, due to thermal expansion and melting of land ice including glaciers.

• Sea level rise

• Glacier melt

• Loss of biodiversity

• Desertification
