What is the greenhouse effect

Biology
2 answers:
fiasKO [112]3 years ago
4 0

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).

Police officers have found human skeletal remains including a pelvis, and they ask your help in determining the individual's gen
emmainna [20.7K]

The feature that you need to use in examining and make a determination whether the skeletal remains in the pelvis is either male or female is by analyzing its size and construction. It is because males have larger pelvis bone and are robust elements compared to females who have smaller and are light in terms of construction.
