4.13 Greenhouse Gases



understand how human activities contribute to greenhouse gases.

Burning fossil fuels -> CO2, SO2, NO2 (greenhouse gases)
they absorb infrared light and reflect them back to the planet

Cow digestion emits methane gas -> 9% of greenhouse gases

Evaporation of water -> water vapour

CFCs absorb UV light and breaks down the ozone layer
