Briefly state how the greenhouse gases contribute to global warming
Answers
Answer:
A number of natural and man-made mechanisms can affect the global energy balance and force changes in Earth's climate. Greenhouse gases are one such mechanism. Greenhouse gases absorb and emit some of the outgoing energy radiated from Earth's surface, causing that heat to be retained in the lower atmosphere.
Answer:
Greenhouse gases
This effect refers to the global increase in the average temperature of the Earth as a result of greenhouse gases. These gases are methane, carbon dioxide and water vapor. When solar rays are incident on Earth, some of these are absorbed which are released back into the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere trap these radiations which helps in keeping Earth warm, hence suitable for humans to survive. Therefore, increase in the level of greenhouse gases can lead to an increase in the temperature of Earth overall resulting in Global warming.
