The Greenhouse Effect: Understanding Its Impact on Our Planet

What is the main role of human activities in the greenhouse effect?

a. exacerbate the natural greenhouse effect
b. create the greenhouse effect
c. diminish the greenhouse effect
d. eliminate the greenhouse effect

The correct option is (a) exacerbate the natural greenhouse effect.

Greenhouse effect:

• The way that "greenhouse gases" trap heat near to the Earth's surface is known as the greenhouse effect. You might imagine these heat-trapping gases as a blanket covering the Earth, keeping it warmer than it would be otherwise.
• The exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that heats the globe is known as the "greenhouse effect" because it functions similarly to a greenhouse. Imagine that a greenhouse can successfully grow plants all year long, even when the weather outside is too cold for some of them to do so.
• A structure with a glass roof and walls is known as a greenhouse. Tropical flowers and tomatoes are among the plants that are grown in greenhouses. A greenhouse maintains a cozy interior temperature year-round. The greenhouse receives daytime sunlight, which warms the air and the plants inside.

Human activities contribute significantly to the exacerbation of the natural greenhouse effect. Understanding this impact is crucial in addressing climate change and its consequences. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices, we can mitigate the effects of human activities on the environment.
