IB Geography: The Atmospheric System, The Natural Greenhouse Effect & Energy Balance


Summary

This video provides a comprehensive introduction to the atmospheric system, discussing key concepts such as the natural greenhouse effect and energy balance. It explains the main layers of the atmosphere - troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere - highlighting their unique characteristics. The role of greenhouse gases in trapping and re-radiating heat, thus warming the lower atmosphere, is also explored, shedding light on the natural greenhouse effect and its impacts on our climate system.
