What is the greenhouse effect

Biology
2 answers:
fiasKO [112]3 years ago

The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring process that aids in heating the Earth's surface and atmosphere. It results from the fact that certain atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane, are able to change the energy balance of the planet by absorbing longwave radiation emitted from the Earth's surface. Without the greenhouse effect life on this planet would probably not exist as the average temperature of the Earth would be a chilly -18° Celsius, rather than the present 15° Celsius.

Answer:

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that occurs due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, ozone, methane in the earth's surface.

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is a phenomenon that occurs when the greenhouse gases(carbon dioxide, methane) in the Earth's surface trap heat from the sun and this process makes the Earth's surface warmer.

The greenhouse effect is caused due to burning of fossil fuels and cutting of trees or forests, which increase the concentration of methane, carbon dioxide(greenhouse gases).

Identify the stages of the water cycle in this model
FinnZ [79.3K]
Alright.


So the picture is a little hard to see, so bare with me. 

Evaporation is where the water is coming out of the ocean up into the air. 

I think that is rain happening above the mountain? If so, that is precipitation.

The little river thing coming out of the mountain is runoff.

I cant really see much else on the picture though, so you might need someone else to help you there.

Airida [17]
It's definitely not A. since the toxins would kill butterflies. B. doesn't seem relevant. C. doesn't make sense because the toxins in the pollen are to protect the corn not to make new strains. So, the answer would be D. The carbon dioxide level would increase in the area. Hope this helps!
