ESRT Greenhouse

How are humans contributing to the Greenhouse Effect

• By increasing the rate of chemical and mechanical weathering

• By shopping too much

• By watching Netflix on the weekends and eating strawberry popcorn all day

• By increasing Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Increased carbon dioxide may cause global warming by

• reducing the amount of oxygen in the air.

• allowing more sunlight into the atmosphere.

• trapping more heat in the atmosphere.

• reflecting more sunlight from clouds.

How are a greenhouse and Earth's atmosphere most alike?

• Both prevent harmful radiation from reaching Earth.

• Both trap heat inside and prevent it from escaping.

• Both lower the temperature to be suitable for life

• Both contain large amounts of carbon dioxide

The greenhouse effect.....

• Protects the ocean from excessive evaporation rates

• Is a place where people grow plants because the temperature is regulated

• Keeps Earth’s atmosphere at a temperature that is comfortable for most living things
