Name the global phenomenon in which there is a gradual increase in the temperature of the Earth as a result of pollutants and certain gases in the atmosphere of the Earth.
A
Ecosystem
B
Solar radiation
C
Ozone depletion
D
Greenhouse effect
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Global Warming is the gradual increase in the overall temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. It begins with a phenomenon called the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect occurs when there is an interaction between Earth’s atmosphere and the radiation from the sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solution: Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the surface of Earth resulting in the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is due to the presence of carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane and other gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap the heat in the atmosphere and are called greenhouse gases. Thus, the greenhouse effect causes global warming.

Detailed explanation-5: -“Global warming is a gradual increase in the earth’s temperature generally due to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants. “
