The figure below illustrates the fate of shortwave and longwave radiation as it encounters Earth’s atmosphere and surface. An understanding of the fate of shortwave and longwave radiation is necessary to comprehend how the lower portion of the atmosphere is heated by the greenhouse effect. Determine the directionality and fate of these waves below. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. Each label can be used only once.
