1.in which greenhouse
gases, like CO2
in the Earth's atmosphere,
cause thermal radiation emitted by the Earth's surface
to be reflected back down
.
2.or
radiation emitted by the sun to be absorbed , therefore causing the climate to warm.
3. This is enhanced by
man's added pollutants (factories ,cars and even cows!)
Though…
The greenhouse effect actually doesn't
have anything in common with a plant habitat (also called green house)!
the green house for plants works in the
principles of convection while the atmospheric green house effect works on the
principles of radiation
It is believed by some scientists that
global warming due to the greenhouse effect isn't possible as it defies the 2nd
law of thermodynamics which is that heat must travel from hotter places to
cooler places .
