  1. Energy in the Earth’s Atmosphere Guided Reading and Study By PresenterMedia.com

  2. 1. Is the following sentence true or false? • Nearly half of the energy in Earth’s atmosphere comes from the sun. • False

  3. 2. Energy from the sun travels to Earth as • Electromagnetic waves

  4. 3. Is the following sentence true or false? • Electromagnetic waves are classified according to wavelength, or distance between waves. • True

  5. 4. The direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called • radiation

  6. Types of radiation Vocabulary word Description • 5. visible light • 6. infrared radiation • 7. ultraviolet radiation a. It is a mixture of all of the colors of the rainbow. c. It has wavelengths that are longer than those of red light. b. It has wavelengths that are shorter than those of violet light.

  7. 8. What causes the different colors of visible light? • The different colors are the result of different wavelengths.

  8. 9. Is the following sentence true or false? • Red light has a shorter wavelength than blue light? • False

  9. 10. Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about infrared radiation. • A. It is invisible. • B. It can be felt as heat. • C. It has longer wavelengths than red light has.

  10. 11. Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about ultraviolet radiation. • B. It can cause skin cancer and eye damage. • D. It can cause sunburns.

  11. 12.What happens to energy from the sun that is neither reflected not absorbed by the atmosphere? • It can pass through the atmosphere to the surface.

  12. 13.What absorbs energy from the sun in the atmosphere? • Water vapor, Carbon Dioxide, clouds, dust, and other gases absorb energy from the sun in the atmosphere.

  13. 14. What reflects energy from the sun in the atmosphere? • Clouds, dust particles, and gases reflect energy from the sun.

  14. 15. Reflection of light in all directions is called • scattering

  15. 16. Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about scattering. • C. Scattered light is bluer than ordinary sunlight. • D. Scattering explains why the daytime sky looks blue.

  16. 17. Energy that is absorbed by the land and water is changed into • heat

  17. 18. Is the following sentence true or false? When Earth’s surface is heated, it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation. • False

  18. 19. What absorbs most of the energy that is radiated from Earth’s surface? • Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases in the air absorb most of the energy that is radiated from Earth’s surface.

  19. 20. The process by which gases hold heat in the air is called the • Greenhouse effect

  20. 21. Is the following sentence true or false? • The greenhouse effect is a natural process. • True
