|
|
Earth’s temperature is becoming warm enough to grow plants outside year-round.
|
|
|
The ocean’s surface acts like a greenhouse, warming Earth like a blanket.
|
|
|
The atmosphere traps radiation to warm land, water, and air, reflecting heat back out, similar to a greenhouse.
|
|
|
The sun’s heat is trapped in the atmosphere so Earth’s core absorbs too much heat.

Detailed explanation-1: -The greenhouse effect happens when heat trapped by gases in the atmosphere warms the Earth. The best description of this process is found in answer choice (E). Atmospheric gases trapping heat and warming the planet’s surface is the correct answer.
Detailed explanation-2: -What Are Greenhouse Gases? Earth’s greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet. The main gases responsible for the greenhouse effect include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor (which are all natural compounds), and fluorinated gases (which are synthetic or man-made).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Greenhouse Effect Greenhouse gases let the sun’s light shine onto Earth’s surface, but they trap the heat that reflects back up into the atmosphere. In this way, they act like the insulating glass walls of a greenhouse. The greenhouse effect keeps Earth’s climate comfortable.
