Question

Which explains how the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases can cause problems with earth’s energy budget?   A. The more greenhouse gases that are in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped. That means earth’s energy budget could be disturbed because the amount of heat radiating toward the surface is less than the amount of heat escaping from the earth.   B. The more greenhouse gases that are in the atmosphere, the less heat will be trapped. That means earth’s energy budget could be disturbed because the amount of heat radiating toward the surface is greater than the amount of heat escaping from the earth.   C. The more greenhouse gases that are in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped. That means earth’s energy budget could be disturbed because the amount of heat radiating toward the surface is greater than the amount of heat escaping from the earth.   D. The more greenhouse gases that are in the atmosphere, the less heat will be trapped. That means earth’s energy budget could be disturbed because the amount of heat radiating toward the surface is less than the amount of heat escaping from the earth.

Answer 1

 C. The more greenhouse gases that are in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped. That means earth’s energy budget could be disturbed because the amount of heat radiating toward the surface is greater than the amount of heat escaping from the earth
