Take out your ESRT Exit Review #3 Why is it so hot in your car during the summer? Aim: How does carbon dioxide affect climate? Topic: Water Cycle and Climate Main Idea: Greenhouse Effect 1) Insolation Incoming solar radiation Short wavelengths of visible light Mostly in the yellow portion 1) Terrestrial Radiation Energy emitted from the Earth Longer wavelengths of infrared radiation 2) Greenhouse Effect: Transmitted Shorter wavelengths of visible light can pass through the atmosphere. 2)Greenhouse Effect: Absorbed Light energy hits the ground and is absorbed and changed. 2) Greenhouse Effect: Reradiation Once light energy is changed into infrared it is given off by the ground and absorbed by greenhouse gases. Think about it:Why can visible light pass through but infrared cannot? Visible light has a shorter wavelength. 3) What is the problem with Venus? It has “runaway greenhouse effect” due to too much carbon dioxide 4) What are the major greenhouse gases and where do they come from? Water vapor= evapotranspiration Carbon dioxide= burning of fossil fuels and deforestation Do Now 1) How far is the distance to the epicenter if the P and S waves are 5 minutes 40 seconds apart? 2) If a P-wave arrives at 7:34:40 pm and an S-wave arrives at 7:42:00, how far is the epicenter? 3) If the epicenter is 4,300 kilometers away how far apart are the P & S waves?
