Greenhouse effect:
Causes of Greenhouse Effect:
Burning of Fossil Fuels:
The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide. With the increase in population, the utilization of fossil fuels has increased. This has led to an increase in the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Deforestation:
Plants and trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Due to the cutting of trees, there is a considerable increase in greenhouse gases which increases the earth’s temperature.
Farming:
Nitrous oxide used in fertilizers is one of the contributors to the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere.
