What does the term greenhouse effect mean in regard to earth’s atmosphere

Physics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface.

Explanation:

Solar radiation heats Earth surface. When solar radiation reaches to Earth a certain level of radiation is being absorbed by Earth and rest of the radiation is being reflected to space. But because of greenhouse gasses (such as water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons) that exist in Earth atmosphere reflected radiation is being absorbed by atmosphere. If greenhouse gasses percentages raises into Earth atmosphere, the more radiation will be absorbed. Therefore, heat level of Earth is going to be raised.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

1- Surface water

2- Groundwater

3- Lake

4- River

5- Watershed/Catchment basin

6- Wetland

Explanation:

  • Surface water refers to all the water bodies that are present on the surface of the earth. This includes rivers, streams, ponds, lakes.
  • Groundwater refers to the subsurface flow of water. When precipitation occurs, the water percolates downward through the rocks in the region where the rocks are porous and permeable, and this water then becomes groundwater.
  • A lake is usually defined as a large water body that is comprised of nutrient minerals and has extensive areas of open water. The depth of the lakes from one place to another and some are so deep that sunlight cannot penetrate into the deeper zone and the plants cannot carry out the process of photosynthesis.
  • A river is defined as a water body that flows from a region of higher elevation to the region of lower elevation and it flows across the land surface and configures the landscape.
  • Catchment basin is usually defined as a large area in which the precipitation occurs and the waters are accumulated and flow downward and mix up with the river channel and streams.
  • Wetlands are usually defined as an ecosystem that is comprised of shallow standing water, and a sufficient amount of vegetation.
