TODAY'S GOALS

1. You can explain the existence of spring tide.
2. You know the location and function of the Oosterschelde Stormvloedkering.
3. You can explain how the greenhouse effect works (notes).
4. You can explain the difference between the natural and the enhanced greenhouse effect.

Start: Westerly gale

Open page 38/39 in your coursebook;                                         

                                                            We read the Start together.

You can explain how the greenhouse effect works (notes).

Use paragraph 3.1, GeoGuide 126 and figure 4.35.

• Open a new page in your notebook.
• Draw "The Greenhouse effect" not enhanced
• Make notes (6 steps) in your own words what the greenhouse effect is.

You can explain how the greenhouse effect works (notes).

Gases are like a blanket

You can name 3

greenhouse gases.

• Carbon dioxide (CO²)
• Methane (CH⁴)
• Water (H²O)

Natural greenhouse effect

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and some is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.

The Greenhouse Effect

Greenhouse effect (works almost similar to a greenhouse)

1. Solar rays come to earth

2. The atmosphere contains greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, H2O)

3. The sun's rays pass through the greenhouse gases

4. Heat rays are created by absorption of the earth

5. Some heat rays pass through the atmosphere

6. Other heat rays are stopped by the greenhouse gases

You can explain the difference between the natural and the enhanced greenhouse effect.

What is "enhanced"?

ENHANCED

GREENHOUSE EFFECT
