Question

Answer the following in 3-4 sentences.

What is the greenhouse effect? What are its consequences?

Answer 1

When a planet's atmosphere contains radio active gases, the atmosphere radiates energy in all directions. Part of this radiation is directed towards the surface resulting in warming the surface more than it would get warmed without the atmosphere. This is called Greenhouse effect.

Greenhouse effect causes global warming which results in making holes in the ozone layer. Holes in ozone layer causes harmful rays from the sun to reach Earth.

Because of the rising temperature, the ice in the arctic region is melting and increasing the level of Sea which causes floods. If we do not put greater emphasis on global warming we may end up destroying human civilisation from natural calamities.
