What is the greenhouse effect? | Global Ideas on Make a GIF
a
Mining and burning fossil fuels, like coal and natural gas which were buried deep underground, releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air
b
Warmer temperatures lead to more ice melt, which allows more energy from the sun to be absorbed by the ground
c
Excess amounts of greenhouse gases trap more heat in the atmosphere
d
All of the above
d) All of the above
The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an overall warming of the planet. This can lead to climate change in various ways, such as the release of greenhouse gases from activities like fossil fuel burning, the melting of ice leading to more heat absorption, and the trapping of excess heat in the atmosphere.
