How does the natural greenhouse effect affect Earth’s energy budget?
Responses
It adjusts the balance of incoming solar and outgoing heat energy to a new balance position.
The greenhouse effect does not affect Earth’s energy budget; it only affects its climate.
It creates an imbalance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing heat. Less energy is going out than is coming in.
It creates an imbalance in which even more solar energy comes in than heat energy goes out.
It adjusts the balance of incoming solar and outgoing heat energy to a new balance position.
The correct response is:
It creates an imbalance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing heat. Less energy is going out than is coming in.
