12
Why does temperature change in the troposphere?
The ozone layer absorbs radiation from the Sun
Heat from the Earth warms the air
It is warmed by the absorption of solar X-rays
There is a decrease in the density of the air
13
Why does temperature change in the stratosphere?
There is a decrease in the density of the air
The ozone layer absorbs radiation from the Sun
It is warmed by the absorption of solar X-rays
Heat from the Earth warms the air
14
How does the greenhouse effect work?
Allows shortwave radiation in, but traps longwave radiation
Traps both shortwave radiation longwave radiation
Allows longwave radiation in, but traps shortwave radiation
Allows both shortwave radiation longwave radiation in
