If the proportion of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere decreased significantly but the amount of atmosphere and the reflective properties of the atmosphere did not change, which effect would most likely occur? (1 point) energy would reach Earth.
The temperature of Earth's surface would increase because more solar
The
temperature of Earth's surface would decrease because less solar energy would reach Earth.
The temperature of Earth's surface would decrease because more heat would escape into space.
The temperature of Earth's surface would increase because more heat would be trapped by the
atmosphere.
The correct answer is:
The temperature of Earth's surface would decrease because less solar energy would reach Earth.
