  1. Green house effect | PPT - SlideShare

    The document discusses the greenhouse effect and global warming. It explains that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat near the Earth's surface, causing the planet to warm.

  2. 04 - The Greenhouse Effect.ppt - Google Slides

    2 Greenhouse Effect A process in which certain gases in Earth’s atmosphere absorb heat from the Sun & heat radiated from Earth’s surface. This warms the earth’s surface. Keeps Earth’s...

  3. Greenhouse Effect - Google Slides

    explain the concept of the greenhouse effect including a list of specific greenhouse gases and why co2 is most often the focus of public discussion.

  4. Greenhouse effect | Definition, Diagram, Causes, & Facts ...

    Greenhouse effect, a warming of Earth’s surface and troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere) caused by the presence of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and certain other gases in the air. Of those gases, known as greenhouse gases, water vapor has the largest effect.

  5. Greenhouse Effect - National Geographic Society

    The greenhouse effect happens when certain gasesknown as greenhouse gases —collect in Earth’s atmosphere. These gases, which occur naturally in the atmosphere, include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide, and fluorinated gases sometimes known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

  6. Greenhouse effect - Understanding Global Change

    The greenhouse effect, which influences Earth’s average temperature, affects many of the processes that shape global climate and ecosystems. This model shows some of the other parts of the Earth system that the greenhouse effect influences, including the water cycle and water temperature.

    2 The Greenhouse effect • A natural process in our atmosphere • Makes the climate hospitable = good thing • Sun radiates electromagnetic energy Ultraviolet light passes through atmosphere •...

  9. What is the greenhouse effect? - NASA Science

    What is the greenhouse effect? The greenhouse effect is the process through which heat is trapped near Earth's surface by substances known as 'greenhouse gases.' Imagine these gases as a cozy blanket enveloping our planet, helping to maintain a warmer temperature than it would have otherwise.

  10. Greenhouse Effect - BioInteractive

    The greenhouse effect is a natural process that has maintained Earth’s temperature at a habitable level. However, human activities — in particular, the burning of fossil fuels — release additional greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
