POLLUTION. THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT

Greenhouse effect explanation

The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. This process makes Earth much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere.

Consequences of the greenhouse effect

The greenhouse effect causes the rising of temperatures, melting ice caps, desertification, fires, storms and floods.

Greenhouse effect causes

Greenhouse effect, a warming of Earth's surface and troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere) caused by the presence of water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, and certain other gases in the air. Of those gases, known as greenhouse gases, water vapour has the largest effect.
