Question
Chapter 4.6, Problem 4.20YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A diagram (or model) that describes earth’s functins as a green house has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
- Ø Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors.
- Ø Greenhouse gases are one type of gas which traps the heat within the system and thus it increases the overall temperature of the earth resulting global warming.
Examples:
- Ø Greenhouse effect: The heat near the earth surface gets trapped by the gases present in the earth atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is the primary gas that traps more heat.
- Ø Atmosphere: The atmosphere is defined as air that is layer of gases which surrounds the earth due to gravity of earth.
- Ø The earth atmosphere consists of layers such as thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere and troposphere depending on the temperature and its composition.

What is not true about water?
Group of answer choices
Water has an exceptionally high specific heat capacity.
Water has a low molar mass, yet it is a liquid at room temperature.
Water has high polarity.
Water is the main solvent within living organisms.
Water has weak hydrogen bonding.
Without naturally occurring greenhouse gases, Earth's average global temperature would be near 0°F (or -18°C) instead of the actual value of 59°F (15°C). How do atmospheric greenhouse gases warm Earth? Do not use the word “trapped” in your answer
