Click Play, and this time observe the GRAPH tab as you change the Greenhouse
gases. What do you notice? - Answer: Heat flow in stays the same always, heat
flow out changes depending on where the Greenhouse gases slider is, and the
temperature increases as time goes on.
Draw conclusions: The influence of greenhouse gases on temperature is called the
greenhouse effect. Based on what you have seen, how do greenhouse gases affect
the heat flow into and out of Earth's atmosphere? - Answer: Greenhouse gases do
not affect the heat flow into the Earth's atmosphere, but they delay or block the
heat flow out of the atmosphere. As the percentage of greenhouse gases in

, Earth's atmosphere increases, the amount of heat that escapes into space
decreases.
Extend your thinking: Atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases such as
carbon dioxide have risen dramatically in the past century. Most scientists agree
that this has begun to result in global warming, a slow increase in average
temperature worldwide.
What are the possible consequences of global warming? - Answer: There are
many possible consequences of global warming. Hotter summers and milder
winters could be caused by global warming as the Earth slowly heats up. Climate
patterns worldwide could change because global warming messes it up. Ice-caps
could melt causing rising sea levels.
What do you notice when you get into a car that has been sitting in the Sun for a
while? - Answer: The car seats and air inside the car are really hot.
Why is the inside of the car so hot? - Answer: The Sun heats up the car as time
goes on and the car absorbs the heat.
