4. What are the greenhouse effects?
Greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation
from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmosphere
greenhouse gases and is re-radiated in all directions.
5. There are two kinds of
greenhouse effects.
Natural greenhouse effect that keeps the Earth’s
climate warm and habitable.
Man-made greenhouse effect is the
enhancement of Earth’s natural greenhouse
effect by the addition of greenhouse gases from
the burning of fossil fuel.
6. Humans have been adding greenhouse gases
in excessive amount to the atmosphere ever
since the Industrial Revolution, which is
enhancing the greenhouse effect and
resulting in what is now known as the
global warming.
