mechanical energy

• energy released by a chemical reaction

• energy that moves objects from place to place

• energy that can move through empty space

law of conservation of energy

• energy can be created and destroyed

• energy cannot change from one form to another

• energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another

• energy cannot be created or destroyed and cannot be changed from one form to another

Which of the following is NOT an effect of Global Warming?

• Polar ice caps will melt.

• Some areas will experience serious droughts

• The Earth's rotation will slow down and eventually stop

• Coastal regions will be covered with rising sea levels.

The Greenhouse Effect: Put these statements in the correct order:

1) so it emits infrared back towards space.

2) This then heats up the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

3) Infrared radiation from the Sun heats the surface of the Earth.

4) which reradiates the infrared back towards the Earth.

5) This warms the surface of the Earth
