scoundrel [369]

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.

How does variables of heat and surface area affect the rate of chemical weathering of rocks ?
Komok [63]
Rainfall and temperature can affect the rate in which rocks weather. High temperatures and greater rainfall increase the rate of chemical weathering. Minerals in a rock buried in soil will therefore break down more rapidly than minerals in a rock that is exposed to air.

hope this helps!! :)
