Explanation:

• a) Each century warm the earth . This sentence in grammatically incorrect instead of warm it should be warms. Because the Earth is huge and it does not warm a single area on earth it warms the entire earth.
• b) But in the last century, there have been a. In this sentence the tense of the sentence is wrong. It is speaking about the last century so the tense must be past tense . So instead of have it should be has.
• c) phenomenon increases in the earth's temperature. Here there is a spelling mistake it should be increase.
• The complete paragraph becomes : Each century warms the earth. But in the last century, there has been a phenomenon increase in the earth's temperature.
