Question

energy and temps: energy - balance essentials. according to the animation on global warming, climate change, the presence of greenhouse gases (co2, ch4, n2o, and cfcs) does what to longwave radiation? absorbs and holds longwave radiation in the upper atmosphere; nothing; absorbs and re - radiates longwave radiation back to the surface; helps the longwave radiation escape to outer space

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases such as CO2, CH4, N2O, and CFCs absorb long - wave radiation emitted from the Earth's surface and re - radiate a portion of it back to the surface, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
