    activity like using cars added co2 into the atmosphere along with industry‚ this vast adding of CO2 causes the enhanced green house effect. The enhanced green house effect is when the suns long wave radiation gets trapped in the atmosphere as a ‘bubble’ around the earth of green house gases (including CO2) is reflecting back the radiation as it tries to escape into space once its been reflected. This trapping of the suns radiation warms up the atmosphere as the heat can’t escape. Although this process

    choices. Global warming is based on the notion that the earth temperatures are increasing due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels. The increase in temperatures is caused by the increasing emission of carbon dioxide‚ CO2‚ into the atmosphere that is associated with trapping heat hence the greenhouse effect. According to Maslin (2007)‚ human activities that include burning of fossil fuels are the main causes of global warming in our planet. The effect of increasing global temperatures

    effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere‚ some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases include: water vapour carbon dioxide methane nitrous oxide ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. This process maintains the Earth’s temperature at around 33 degrees

    40% from the photosynthetic effect of plants on land. Where there are burning fossil fuels that has an increase the carbon dioxide to 35%. When combustion occurs by the surrounding of oxygen‚ carbon dioxide and water molecules are set free in the atmosphere. The phosphorous cycle is the element that is in rock and soil minerals which when the rocks starts to break down the phosphorous is released.

    for this is because the earth is a geoid ‚ the sun’s rays hit directly on the equator(caused by unequal insolation due to three factors: angle of strike‚ atmospheric depletion and surface area.) and then move outwards towards the polar areas. The atmosphere together with the ocean currents work hard to try and even out the imbalance of heat energy by redistributing the air from the equator to the Polar Regions but also from the Earth’s surface back into space.(1) 2. The heat imbalance can be transferred

    understand Global Warming one has to know exactly what the greenhouse effect is and how it contributes to Global Warming. The Greenhouse Effect is the process where the radiations coming from the Sun are trapped by gases that are in greenhouses in the atmosphere which causes tempature near the earth to rise. Some of these gases are carbon dioxide carbon monoxide‚ methane‚ water vapors and so on and so forth. The Greenhouse Effect is not a bad thing to the Earth. In retrospect the Earth wouldn’t be Earth
