Question
Chapter 7, Problem 1E
Interpretation Introduction
To determine: Greenhouse effect
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution: Greenhouse effect is the entrapment of the sun’s radiation on the planet Earth without letting it escape to the earth’s atmosphere.
Explanation of Solution
Gases in the earth atmosphere such as CO2 traps the suns radiation emitted from the planet’s surface. The infrared radiation gets trapped in the earth thus increasing the earth’s temperature. Greenhouse effect is the cause of global warming.
Conclusion
Greenhouse effect is the entrapment of sun’s infrared rays on Earth’s surface.
