Unit 2: Environmental Changes, Natural or Man-made?
![Page 3: 2/25/10 Next homework due available in D2L! “The World We Create” NATS 101 Section 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56649e685503460f94b6533f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas has some interesting properties and is easy to make at home. Let’s play with some CO2
gas. But first, I need to “make” some.
To make CO2 gas all you need is a container, some baking soda and some vinegar.
THE REACTION
Vinegar (Acetic acid) + baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) produces sodium acetate and carbonic acid…
The carbonic acid then breaks down into water and carbon dioxide gas. (For you chemistry buffs…)
HC2H3O2 + NaHCO3 NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3
Then H2CO3 H2O + CO2

What is a greenhouse for and how does it work?
![Page 10: 2/25/10 Next homework due available in D2L! “The World We Create” NATS 101 Section 6](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56649e685503460f94b6533f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is a greenhouse for and how does it work?
• A greenhouse is a building constructed primarily of glass or plastics in which plants can be grown. The clear walls provides a contained, warm, humid environment that facilitates the growing of plants.
• These optimal growing conditions are caused by solar (light) energy passing through to the inside surfaces which are subsequently heated, which in turn heats the contained air.
• The closed environment of the greenhouse restricts the natural convection of air and consequently interior temperatures can be quite high.
• With the proper building materials the greenhouse can also store some of that interior heat allowing it to extend through the night to continue maintaining a suitable growing temperature.

Our AtmosphereThrough the “greenhouse effect”, our planet’s atmosphere retains solar energy and keeps the global average temperature in a pleasant range.
Life would not exist without the greenhouse effect!
Without the greenhouse effect the earth would
have a temperature approximately 33 oF lower than what it is
currently.

So, how is our atmosphere heated?
Infrared light
How is our atmosphere kept warmer
than it would be otherwise?
Visible light

Infrared light
A small amount (~12%) of the incoming sun’s energy is absorbed directly by various “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere. However, much of the sun’s energy (which is in the visible light spectrum) travels through the atmosphere and is absorbed by the earth.

The earth absorbs the visible light energy, get’s hotter, and radiates thermal energy (as longer wave infrared radiation ) upwards into the atmosphere. This infrared radiation is absorbed by various “greenhouse” gases there.

So, how is our atmosphere heated?

Specific “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere readily absorb infrared radiation. Those gases subsequently radiate energy in all directions including the ground which absorbs that radiation and subsequently gets warmer.

Earth’s Energy Sources
The surface of the Earth is warmer than it would be in the absence of an atmosphere because it receives energy from two sources: the Sun and the atmosphere.

How is Atmospheric Heat Retained?
We know that “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere, such as CO2 and H2O, are
responsible for sustaining Earth’s temperature
What is it about certain molecules that causes heat to be retained? Why is CO2 a greenhouse gas but not, say O2?

Resonance
Resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate at maximum amplitude when forced
at its natural frequencies.

Application
Now we have seen the greenhouse effect in action and we know how it
affects Earth.
How does the greenhouse effect work on other planets?
Let’s analyze some data and see.

Last Minute ClarificationThe “Greenhouse Effect” and Global Warming are not
the same thing.
The Greenhouse Effect (the process) is a natural process which causes the surface of the Earth to be warmer than it would be in the absence of an atmosphere.
Global Warming (the effect) is the name given to an unexpected increase in the lower atmospheric temperatures. This has been blamed on the “Enhanced Greenhouse Effect”.

So, what do you know? Or So what, do you know?
True or False
1. The greenhouse effect is a man made phenomenon.2. The atmosphere consists mostly of greenhouse gases and that’s
why we stay as warm as we do.3. The most common greenhouse gas is CO2 and that is why its
emissions has been such a hot topic for global discussion.4. The earth receives nearly twice as much energy from the
atmosphere than what it does directly from the sun.5. The earth’s surface is kept warmer in a process that is similar to
what takes place in an actual greenhouse. That is why they call it the Greenhouse Effect.
6. All types of gas molecules can resonate, but only some do so in the presence of IR radiation wavelengths.
7. Venus is inhospitable due to its extensive atmospheric greenhouse effect.
