1. Which of the following is not an example of a naturally occurring greenhouse gas?
Question by fmlp: 1. Which of the following is not an example of a naturally occurring greenhouse gas?
a. methane
b. nitrous oxide
c. water vapor
d. chlorofluorocarbon
2. How would you describe the wavelengths of incoming solar radiation compared to the wavelengths of reradiated heat?
a. The wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are faster than the wavelengths of reradiated heat.
b. The wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat.
c. The wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are twice the size of the wavelengths of reradiated heat.
d. The wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are the same size as the wavelengths of reradiated heat.
3. Which of the following is true of greenhouse gases?
a. They are all naturally occurring.
b. They exist in fixed quantities.
c. They trap energy in the atmosphere.
d. They reflect incoming solar radiation.
Best answer:
Answer by Edgar G
1) this would be chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)
methane is a simple hydorcarbon that is actualy refered to as natural gas
2) b, it is the increase in the wavelength size that prevents the reradiated heat from leaving the atmosphere
3)
c) some are not naturally occuring
their quatities are constantly fluctuating
and if they reflected incoming solar radiation, then bring on the second ice age
so they are identified as traping energy which is by definition the green house effect.
