The greenhouse effect<span> is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth. It happens because certain </span>gases<span> absorb infrared heat that would normally be radiated into space. Infrared light is what you feel heat wise</span>
Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner.
Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves.
This strip is called sahel
They are mid-ocean ridges<span>, which </span>form<span> where two tectonic plates are spreading apart, which is called seafloor spreading. Tectonic plates are large pieces of the earth's crust, and they interact in a number of ways. Where they pull apart is called a divergent plate boundary.</span>
