DIFFERNTIATE BETWEEN ''GREEN HOUSE EFFECT'' AND '' ENHANCED GREEN HOUSE EFFECT''
Greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from the earth's surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions. It is a natural process that keeps the Earth warm. Without it, the earth would be unable to retain enough heat to sustain life.
The enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by all the extra greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane etc) that are released into the air from burning fossil fuels and agriculture. They all trap more heat and radiation from the sun than normally required. The earth radiates infrared rays from the sunlight that reaches the surface. These radiations should escape off into space, but due to the enhanced greenhouse effect, they are trapped by greenhouse gases. Therefore, the overall temperature of the earth rises.
