Greenhouse effect is the process of trapping sun radiation in the earth surface, so as to make the planet warm. It is a natural phenomenon in which sun rays that enters the earth surface are re-radiated into the earth surface causing the heat trap in the earth.
In similar manner, green house also trap radiation inside the glass house. The sun rays once reach inside the glass house, strike on plants and objects and reflected back. For entire radiation to escape from the green house, the heat flow between the two points must be proportional to the temperature difference and thermal conductivity. The glass of which the green house are made up, have low thermal conductivity. So, temperature must rise inside glass house so to maintain the heat flow rate of incoming and outgoing radiation.
The green house glass are insulated and they trap the infrared emitted by the objects inside the green house from escaping outside. Since the infrared have longer wave lengths, it is released slowly. 

Also, the thermal energy inside the glass house are transferred by convection process. But the glass walls and roof act as insulator, keeping the radiant energy from escaping outside the green house.<span />

What is the charge on an atom after it loses an electron during the formation of a bond?
NARA [144]

Answer:

One positive charge

Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the number of positive and negative particles are equal. This leaves the atom with a net charge of zero, 0.

When the number of protons in an atom is greater than the number of electrons, the atom becomes positively charged. When an atom loses an electron when a bond wants to form, it has a net positive charge.

The number of electrons lost or gained determines the charge.

Using your knowledge geologic processes, explain why there are fertile, nutrient-rich solls on and surrounding volcanoes
poizon [28]

Answer:

Hey, I will try my best

so as you know volcanos can be very destructive and cause mass death and deforestation. but nature needs volcanos because they are part of a cycle. The lava that comes from volcanos can feed various plants which will start to grow after an eruption. these plants will process the lava rock into food which feeds other plants. and soon enough you have a whole forest after all the lava rock has been processed.
