Greenhouse Effect is the process by which the greenhouse gases trap sunlight and keep the Earth warm. It serves as a blanket to the Earth. It is natural and is important to sustain life on Earth without which earth will become frozen cold. Unfortunately since industrial revolution there has been an excessive increase in the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This has contributed to climate change and global warming. This article gives complete information and basic understanding about greenhouse gases with help of diagrams and comic strip. Have fun reading!!!
Meet the greenhouse gases!!
- Carbon dioxide
- Methane
- Ozone
- Nitrous oxide
- Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
Causes of Greenhouse Effect
- Burning of Fossil fuels
- Landfills
- Deforestation
- Burning of trees
- Automobile exhaust
- Industrial exhaust
When the above activities are done they release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and thereby increasing its level in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse Effect Comparison
Prevention of Human Intensified Greenhouse Effect
- Afforestation: Afforestation on a large scale area helps in decreasing the release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
- Be energy-efficient citizens.
- Generate electricity without emissions: Renewable energy sources include solar energy, geothermal, wind turbines, ocean wave and tidal energy, waste and biomass energy, and hydropower.
- Travel without greenhouse gas: Cities and towns can make it easier for people to lower greenhouse gas emissions by adding bus routes, bike paths, and sidewalks.
