Solution

Global warming:

The phenomenon of a steady rise in the earth's average temperature is known as global warming. It results from the atmospheric release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, CFCs, etc.

  1. Global warming is mainly caused by the increase in temperature due to greenhouse gas emissions.
  2. Certain gases in Earth's atmosphere act like greenhouse glass, trapping the Sun's heat and preventing it from traveling into space, resulting in global warming.
  3. Greenhouse gases mainly include:
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
  • Methane
  • Nitrous oxide
  • Fluoridated gases

So, Greenhouse gases cause global warming.
