Explanation:

<em>The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat.</em> Gases in the atmosphere such as CO2, water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons absorb and re-radiate the sun's energy maintaining the Earth's temperature at around 33 degrees Celcius, this happens especially with infrared light that wants to go back to space. This infrared heat spreads back to the land and oceans. This absorption does not happen with visible light, the radiation at 400-800nm easily passes through the atmosphere.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting.

I have taken the AP Human Geography final before, and i recommend focusing on language/religion, and urbanization units the most. Go through the topics and see which one’s you are least comfortable with, and study those first. Go through all vocabulary and understand main ideas. Most importantly, don’t stress out! you will do a lot better when you are not stressed and you have a clear and concentrated mind. good luck :)!
