Copy these questions under the IN to answer during a video clip: Intro to Greenhouse effect1.List two possible outcomes of

rising global temperatures.2.What simple changes can we

make?Then, Get your book from the back cabinet.

Under pressure?

OBJECTIVES & LEARNING GOALS:METEOROLOGISTS CAN:

• Explain how the atmosphere protects life on Earth using the greenhouse effect.

• Describe the possible effects of increased temperatures on Earth caused by trapping of “greenhouse gases.”

Level 4

I can compare and contrast the four major layers of the atmosphere (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere) in terms of temperature and pressure and explain how they contribute to life on Earth.

Level 3

I can list the four layers of the atmosphere, explain how temperature and pressure change in each layer, and describe how it protects life and insulates our planet.

Level 2

I can list the layers of the atmosphere and how they protect life on our planet.

Level 1

With help I can explain how the atmosphere protects our planet.

Complete using our Fusion book, p. 568-571.It protects us from Sun’s harmful radiation and maintains “just right” temperature range.We must have the right temperature to have liquid water.

It is held in place by gravity.

The measure of the force with which air molecules push on an area of a surface.Air pressure decreases with increasing altitude.

There are fewer molecules of air so the amount of Oxygen is less.

Uppermost layer where gases absorb high energy solar radiation.

Middle layer and one of coldest. Meteoroids burn up at the bottom.

Ozone absorbs UV radiation.

Densest layer that contains all water vapor, clouds, weather, pollution.

No Ozone = no lifeDue to no protection from the sun

No, gases absorbing solar radiation cause temperatures to increase or decrease.

It’s like adding a thicker blanket which would trap more heat.

Troposphere (our layer)

The farther up you are from Earth’s surface the lower the pressure because gravity is weaker and the mass of gases above is less.

ThermosphereIt feels cold because the density of particles that transfer energy is very small (Very low pressure)

Greenhouse Venus? Why is Venus the hottest planet in our Solar system even though it’s not the closest to the Sun?
