1. Describe the general characteristics of each graph.
2. In which bottle was the temperature rise the greatest? Why do you think this occurred?
3. Was there any difference in the rate at which the bottles cooled after the light was turned off?
4. List the major greenhouse gases. Which is considered to be the most important?
5. Describe the differences between global warming and the greenhouse effect. Be sure to include the terms UV light, infrared light, long wavelength, short wavelength, absorbed, reflected atmosphere
6. Why is Venus hotter than Mercury, even though Mercury is closer to the sun?
7. For virtually the entire history of the world the greenhouse effect was in balance. What man-made event was significant in the development of global warming?
8. Use the internet to find out when the 10 hottest years were on a global average. If this trend were to continue, what environmental problems would arise? Do you think it will have a personal impact on you? How?
