EM: Energy Budget

Energy in the Atmopshere & Earth's Energy Budget

QuestionAnswer
How many types of EM radiation come from the Sun 7
Which three types of radiation make it through Earth's atmopshere Inrared, Ultraviolt, Visible light
Amount of total radiation reflected back into space 30%
UV Harmful high energy radiation
Amount of total energy absrbed by Earth's surface 51%
Infrared Radiation you cannot see but feel as heat
Earth Energy Budget Describes the balanced amount of solar energy absorbed and reflected by Earth
Visible light radiation we can see with the naked eye (Roy. G. Biv)
Which of the following does NOT rely on solar radiation? a). Geothermal (Earth's internal heat) b) Wind (the movement of the atmopshere) d) Fossil Fuels (created through photosynthesis e) Hydroelectric (created through the water cycle) a) Geothermal (Earth's creates it's own internal heat
to Absorb to take in or soak up
to Reflect to reject
to Scatter to spread in many directions
Why is the sky blue Earth's atmosphere scatters blue light the best
Atmosphere gases that surround a planet
the Greenhouse Effect the process where certain gases "trap" heat in Earth's atmosphere
All the Greenhouse Gases Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Water Vapor, etc..These gases trap heat from the Sun in Earth's atmopshere
What would happen to Earth if greenhouse gas levels rose? Possible Answers: 1. Global Temps would increase 2. Polar ice caps & glaciers would melt
How are human contributing to the Greehouse House Effect? Burning fossil fuels which increase CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the air;a greenhouse gas
CO2 Carbon Dioxide
Energy transfer from the formation of coal to how we get electricity in a coal power plant radiant--chemical--thermal--mechanical---electrical
Things that reduce greenhouse gases such as CO2 in the atmosphere Plants; Earth's oceans
