- greenhouse effect work
- 1.Electromagnetic radiation at most wavelengths from
the Sun passes through the Earth’s atmosphere
- 2.The Earth absorbs electromagnetic radiation with short wavelengths and so warms up. Heat is
radiated from the Earth as longer wavelength infrared radiation.
- 3.Some of this infrared radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere
- 4.The atmosphere warms
up
