During a homework assignment, some students provided the following descriptions of global warming. Review the definitions and rank them in order of accuracy (1 = most accurate; 5 = least accurate).
__________ Global warming is the gradual warming of Earth due to the greenhouse effect.
__________ Global warming is a gradual, long-term increase in the temperature of Earth due to an increase in the concentration of trace atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide that absorb heat from Earth’s surface.
__________ Global warming occurs when the temperature of Earth slowly increases because a layer of chemicals in the atmosphere absorbs more heat than normal.
__________ Global warming is the result of the ozone layer in the atmosphere becoming thinner because of certain chemicals we use. This causes more solar radiation to reach Earth’s surface, leading to higher average temperatures.
__________ Global warming is the warming of climate over many years as a result of natural phenomena, such as volcanic eruptions, that trap heat close to Earth’s surface.
