Question

strand 2: ess.ees.2.1 use models to explain how mantle convection powers plate tectonics. instructions: complete the following vocabulary table. you may use google to find definitions. definitions must be in your own words. find the definition and include a picture. see the example. greenhouse effect biosphere ultraviolet light infrared radiation visible light

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, warming the planet. The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems, where life exists. Ultraviolet light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths than visible light, which can be harmful in high - doses. Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light, often felt as heat. Visible light is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can detect. Pictures for each can be found on search engines like Google, for example, a picture of a greenhouse for the greenhouse effect, a picture of diverse life forms for the biosphere, a picture of a UV lamp for ultraviolet light, a thermal image for infrared radiation, and a rainbow for visible light.

Answer:

Greenhouse Effect: The process of atmospheric gases trapping solar heat to warm the Earth. Picture: A greenhouse structure.
Biosphere: The global zone where all life exists. Picture: A variety of plants and animals in a natural setting.
Ultraviolet Light: Electromagnetic radiation with short wavelengths. Picture: A UV - emitting lamp.
Infrared Radiation: Electromagnetic radiation giving off heat. Picture: A thermal image of a warm object.
Visible Light: The part of the spectrum visible to humans. Picture: A rainbow.
