Question

Discuss about the Greenhouse effect - Causes and dangers [ NEED A BIG DESCRIPTION]

Answer 1

Answer:

Causes and greenhouse effect

Climate change is caused by both natural factors and human activities.

Natural processes include changes in the Earth's orbit of the sun which causes changes in the sun's intensity, plate tectonics changing the position and size of the continents and volcanic activity changing carbon emissions.

Since the early 20th century human activities have significantly changed the composition of the Earth's atmosphere due to the emission of greenhouse gasses. These human activities include the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, gas and peat in factories, the carbon emissions from car exhausts, methane and nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture and the change of how land is being used for example deforestation and urbanisation.

Answer 2

Answer:

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.[1][2]

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.[3] 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,[2][5][6] 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.
