Hello,

I hope you are doing good,

The effect of global warming is the natural process that warms the earth's surface. When the sun's energy reaches the earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back into space and others are absorbed and re-ignited by greenhouse gases.


Greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and other synthetic chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

THANK YOU!!!

Greenhouse gases are those gases in the atmosphere that have an influence on the earth's energy balance. They cause the the best known greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO), methane and nitrous oxide, can be found naturally in low concentrations in the atmosphere. However, the proportion has increased significantly since the beginning of the last century due to various man-made sources.

In addition to these trace gases, which can only be found in very low concentrations in the atmosphere, water vapour is probably the most important greenhouse gas. However, it only plays a major role in relation to the natural greenhouse effect, since the absorption capacity of water vapour in the air is directly related to temperature. Water vapour therefore has little influence on man-made climate change.

Dear student,

Greenhouse gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth.

Hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!
