Earth's stratosphere is heated primarily by which process?
A) Convection from the Earth's surface.
B) Absorption of infrared radiation by greenhouse gases.
C) Absorption of visible light by ozone.
D) Absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone.
E) Atoms and molecules absorb infrared sunlight.

X rays from the Sun's corona
A) are absorbed in Earth's troposphere.

,How does the greenhouse effect work?
A) Greenhouse gases transmit visible light, allowing it to heat the surface, but then absorb infrared light
from Earth, trapping the heat near the surface.
B) The higher pressure of the thick atmosphere at lower altitudes traps heat in more effectively.
C) Ozone transmits visible light, allowing it to heat the surface, but then absorbs most of the infrared
heat, trapping the heat near the surface.
D) Greenhouse gases absorb X rays and ultraviolet light from the Sun, which then heat the atmosphere
and the surface.
E) Greenhouse gases absorb infrared light from the Sun, which then heats the atmosphere and the
surface.
A) Greenhouse gases transmit visible light, allowing it to heat the surface, but then absorb infrared light
from Earth, trapping the heat near the surface.
