20 (d) Replace the following with a word or phrase

increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere

Answer 1

Global warming is the increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere.

• The steady increase in the total temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is known as Global Warming.
• It all starts with something called the greenhouse effect.
• When the Earth's atmosphere interacts with solar radiation, the greenhouse effect develops. Sunlight strikes the Earth's surface, where it is absorbed and reflected as heat back into the atmosphere.
