  1. The Greenhouse Effect 3/5/14 15-2b pgs. 398-401 IN: What do you think is the Greenhouse Effect?

  2. The Greenhouse Effect – the natural heating process of a planet, such as the Earth, by which gases in the atmosphere trap thermal energy.

  3. Particles that trap thermal energy are called “greenhouse gases”. • Scientists have hypothesized that an increase of these gases, may be causing an increase in the greenhouse effect.

  4. Global Warming – a rise in average global temperatures.

  5. Global Warming

  6. Radiation balance is the balance between incoming and outgoing energy. • The amount coming in and going out must be equal for earth to remain livable.

  7. The Radiation Balance

  8. OUT: Draw a diagram of The Greenhouse Effect. Go to the Library tomorrow
