What is the Greenhouse Effect?
A
The rising of sea level over time
B
The Earth’s atmosphere losing heat
C
The trapping of the Sun’s warmth in the Earth’satmosphere
D
The way we get energy to our holmes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth’s atmosphere trap the Sun’s heat. This process makes Earth much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is one of the things that makes Earth a comfortable place to live.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is the Greenhouse Effect? The greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun’s warmth in a Earth’s lower atmosphere. This happens because lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the Sun than to thermal infrared radiation emitted from the surface (Figure 8.44).

Detailed explanation-3: -Why do greenhouse gases absorb heat? Greenhouse gases are more complex than other gas molecules in the atmosphere, with a structure that can absorb heat. They radiate the heat back to the Earth’s surface, to another greenhouse gas molecule, or out to space.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thawing of glacial masses. Flooding of islands and coastal cities. Hurricanes will be more devastating. Migration of species. Desertification of fertile areas. Impact on agriculture and livestock.
