41、s either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earths surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. O
42、nly a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earths surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter b
43、ut prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, youve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflec
44、ts most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.64. According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is _.A. the atmosphere surr
45、ounding the EarthB. water from oceans and lakesC. energy from the Sun D. greenhouse gases in the sky65.
