nitrogen

carbon dioxide

methane

nitrous oxide

11 answers

The greenhouse gases that make the greenhouse effect possible include:

  • Water vapor
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Methane
  • Nitrous oxide

Nitrogen is not considered a greenhouse gas, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.

Greenhouse gases absorb radiation from the_______
and re-radiate it back toward the_____
,
which helps to maintain a normal range of_____
on Earth.

Greenhouse gases absorb radiation from the Earth and re-radiate it back toward the atmosphere, which helps to maintain a normal range of temperatures on Earth.

Its earth earth and temperature not with an s

Which of the following are possible causes of global warming? Check all that apply.

human activity

differences in emitted energy from Earth

natural fluctuations

changes in distance to the Sun

poor measurement

The possible causes of global warming include:

  • Human activity
  • Differences in emitted energy from Earth
  • Natural fluctuations
  • Changes in distance to the Sun

Poor measurement is not considered a cause of global warming; rather, it pertains to the accuracy of data collection and interpretation.

natural fluctuations and human activities

Which of the following are ways that humans increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere? Check all that apply.

burning fossil fuels

deforestation

livestock

death of organisms

landfills

agriculture

sewage treatment

Humans increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere through the following activities:

  • Burning fossil fuels
  • Deforestation
  • Livestock
  • Landfills
  • Agriculture
  • Sewage treatment

Death of organisms is not typically considered a direct way that humans increase greenhouse gas emissions, as it is a natural process. However, the decomposition of organic matter can produce greenhouse gases, but this is part of natural processes rather than a direct human action.

Which of the following are consequences of global warming? Check all that apply.

increased seawater salinity

increased melting ice

increased sea level

decreased ocean water temperature

increased number of species

increased heat-related deaths

decreased growing season

The consequences of global warming include:

  • Increased melting ice
  • Increased sea level
  • Increased heat-related deaths
  • Decreased growing season

Increased seawater salinity can be a result of melting ice and increased evaporation, but it is not a direct consequence of global warming itself. Decreased ocean water temperature is generally not a consequence of global warming, as global warming typically results in increased ocean temperatures. Increased number of species is not a commonly recognized consequence of global warming; in fact, many species are at risk due to habitat changes and environmental stressors associated with global warming.

just remove **Decreased growing season** and its correct
