This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Guzman_GreenhouseEffect, Blackbody Radiation which states That everything with a temperature above absolute zero emits and absorbs energy in the form of photons., Radiation is related to Planetary Energy Balance, Radiation is tied to temperature. ???? The higher the temperature, the more radiation is emitted at shorter wavelengths., The Greenhouse Effect does not work like an actual Greenhouse, which prevents hot air from escaping via enclosure., The earth emits: nearly 100% Infrared Radiation because Radiation is tied to temperature., Humans ???? The enhanced greenhouse effect is the anthropogenic addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere., The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of wavelengths and frequencies, A naturally occuring process in which greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere trap infrared radiation. ???? Greenhouse gases include: carbon dioxide, ozone, water vapor, methane, and CFCs., wavelengths and frequencies and the shorter the wavelength, the more radiation is emitted., The trapped radiation is re-emitted to the earth's surface. ???? About 30% of incoming radiation is absorbed by the earth's atmosphere., That "Earth adjusts its temperature so that it loses energy into space (by blackbody radiation) at the same rate as it gains energy from the sun." ???? About 30% of incoming radiation is absorbed by the earth's atmosphere., The Greenhouse Effect has a lot to do with Radiation, These greenhouse gases prevent some longwave radiation from escaping directly to space. ???? About 30% of incoming radiation is absorbed by the earth's atmosphere., The sun emits: 10% Ultra Violent Radiation 50% Visible Light Radiation 40% Infrared Radiation because Radiation is tied to temperature., A naturally occuring process in which greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere trap infrared radiation. ???? The trapped radiation is re-emitted to the earth's surface., That "Earth adjusts its temperature so that it loses energy into space (by blackbody radiation) at the same rate as it gains energy from the sun." ???? About 30% of the energy emitted from the sun to the earth's is reflected immediately., That "Earth adjusts its temperature so that it loses energy into space (by blackbody radiation) at the same rate as it gains energy from the sun." ???? About 40% of incoming radiation is absrobed by the earth's surface., Radiation especially Blackbody Radiation, The Greenhouse Effect is ENHANCED by Humans, These greenhouse gases prevent some longwave radiation from escaping directly to space. ???? Greenhouse gases include: carbon dioxide, ozone, water vapor, methane, and CFCs.
