Question

Discuss about the greenhouse effect -- causes and dangers.​

Answer 1

❤❤HERE IS YOUR ANSWER BUDDY ❤❤

The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.

If a planet's atmosphere contains radiatively active gases (i.e., greenhouse gases) they will radiate energy in all directions. Part of this radiation is directed towards the surface, warming it. The intensity of the downward radiation – that is, the strength of the greenhouse effect – will depend on the atmosphere's temperature and on the amount of greenhouse gases that the atmosphere contains.

Earth’s natural greenhouse effect is critical to supporting life. Human activities, mainly the burning of fossil fuels and clearing of forests, have strengthened the greenhouse effect and caused global warming.[4]

The term "greenhouse effect" is a misnomer that arose from a faulty analogy with the effect of sunlight passing through glass and warming a greenhouse. The way a greenhouse retains heat is fundamentally different, as a greenhouse works mostly by reducing airflow so that warm air is kept inside, whereas the greenhouse "effect" is the increase in temperature inside of the "house" via the re-radiation of heat energy from its gaseous "windows" which allow light energy to pass in but then trap it and reflect it when it attempts to escape as heat energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

With the approach of Industrial revolutions, the use of chemicals in the factories has increased to a dangerous amount. Along with it, deforestation due to industrial or economic purposes and the excess burning of fossil fuels like natural gas, oil, and coal, has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide from 315 ppmv (part per million by volume) to about 363 ppmv since 1958. These are some of the primary reasons for which the heat gets trapped in the atmosphere thus causing global warming.

Consequences of Global warming

• Warmer climate: On average, the Earth’s temperature will become warmer than earlier, while some places will get warm while others may not.

• The rise of sea level: Due to global warming, the glaciers and ice sheets of Greenland and Atlantic will melt which will add water to the sea level, thus causing many disasters like Tsunami. A rise in sea level will also have an economic impact especially on the low-lying coastal areas and islands causing unavoidable soil erosion.

• Agricultural impact: According to multiple experiments, with the high concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, the growth of crops is twice than the normal growth. At the same time, the shifting of the climatic pattern may change the areas where crop production becomes faster and better thus affecting the normal amount of agriculture.
