Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-wave infrared radiation is the form of energy released by the Earth's surface and absorbed by the atmosphere, leading to a rise in atmospheric temperature. The other options (gamma radiation, ultraviolet radiation, near-ultraviolet radiation, and x-rays) are forms of energy that are not emitted by the Earth's surface and are not involved in the process of atmospheric heating.
