The greenhouse effect refers (1) (to/at/for/on) the raised temperature (2) for/of/in)
the Earth's surface as a result (3) (of/off/to/on) heat energy being trapped (4) (against/
by/down/for) gases in the atmosphere. As the Sun's rays pass (5) (against/above through/

energy passes through. This energy is re-emitted by the Earth (6) (since/like/as/to)
long-wave radiation, which cannot pass easily through the atmosphere. More heat is
retained if there is a cloud layer. In recent centuries, more heat has been retained due
(7) (by/at/for/to) the increased levels of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels.
Tiny particles of CO form an extra layer, which acts like the glass (8) (on/in/above/down)
