Please get out your Obj #1&2 for a stamp Please pass back the updated unit calendar and read the board. 3,2,1 . . .Blast off!
The Greenhouse effect • Solar radiation in with shorter wavelengths • Converted to infrared energy at surface with longer wavelength • Infrared energy trapped by greenhouse gases
Greenhouse gases • CO2
Atmosphere diagram – the last story! • Sources on this sheet just like the others • Show primary pollutants coming from each source correctly (greenhouse gases) • Draw in greenhouse effect in green (get it?)
Normal conditions: winds blow west, cold waters rise El Nino: winds stop blowing, warm waters in Eastern Pacific block cold waters Effects: disrupt marine ecosystems, major weather changes over 2/3 Earth El Nino
Check for understanding • Name the 6 green house gases. • What human activities create CH4? • Is the greenhouse effect beneficial or negative? • What energy type reaches the earth from the sun?
