Put the stages of the Greenhouse effect in the correct order.

Short wavelength radiation from the Sun passes through the atmosphere
The radiation hits the Earth's surface, where some of its energy is absorbed (warming the Earth)
The lower energy radiation is reflected back (now long wavelength)
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb this long wavelength radiation (warming the Earth)
This causes global warming (an increase in the global average temperature).

Which of the following are greenhouse gases?

Carbon dioxide

methane

water vapour

oxygen

As the amount the percentage of CO₂ in the atmosphere has increased the average global temperature

Increased

Decreased

Deforestation has caused CO₂ levels to

Increase

Decrease

Planting more trees will cause CO₂ levels to
