IB Physics HL B.2.10 Enhanced greenhouse effect
Practise identifying what strengthens the greenhouse effect by comparing fuel choices, carbon capture and land-use changes.
How this is tested
- define the enhanced greenhouse effect as added greenhouse gases raising Earth's surface temperature
- choose between fuel changes or carbon capture decisions by judging which option lowers CO2 emissions
- decide that deforestation increases warming because the carbon-cycle model removes less CO2 from air
