The greenhouse effect is a result of:
A. Consumption of fruits and vegetables that produce a biofuel.
B. Absorption and radiation of energy in the atmosphere.
C. Absorption and radiation of energy in the hydrosphere.
D. Consumption and radiation of energy in the atmosphere.
Answer (2)
The greenhouse effect is a result of absorption and radiation of energy in the atmosphere (B). The greenhouse effect is the name given to the earth's atmosphere trapping greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane in the earth's atmosphere. This trapped gas then holds more heat and subsequently raises the temperature gradually over time. This has raised the temperature of the planet over time.
The greenhouse effect is caused by the absorption and radiation of energy in the atmosphere, specifically by greenhouse gases like CO₂ and CH₄. This process traps heat and maintains a temperature that supports life on Earth. Human activities have increased greenhouse gas concentrations, intensifying this effect and contributing to climate change.
