What is the greenhouse effect?
The absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gasses in the atmosphere warms the earth's surface
1 of 10
How do gasses absorb radiation?
The gas molecule absorbs infrared radiation which causes the particle to vibrate which eventually gets re-emitted as energy in the form of radiation
2 of 10
What are the three main greenhouse gasses?
CO2, water vapour, CH4

What does global warming lead to?
Rise in sea levels, increased and more violent storms, flooding

Why is the ozone layer good?
It absorbs UV radiation
