The following diagram shows how greenhouse gases trap energy from the Sun. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown in the diagram.
The given diagram illustrates the process of trapping greenhouse
gases
from the Sun.
Overall
, it can be seen that there are 5 possible ways of realising Sun energy which is heat from the Earth's surface that may radiate back to space or be trapped by greenhouse
gases
,
also
polluting
gases
from burning fossil fuels add extra carbon dioxide. The shortest way is when energy reflects off the atmosphere.
Likewise
, we can see that the Sun heat the surface of the Earth but
this
power does not stay on the ground, so some amount of energy leaves it and can radiate back into space, meanwhile, the second event is that heat can be trapped by greenhouse
gases
inside the atmosphere.
Moreover
, we should not forget about car and manufacturing activity that
also
participates in the gas cycle. Their contribution consists of burning vast amounts of fossil fuels that add extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
