Q
Q: What is the primary cause of the greenhouse effect?
Solution:
The greenhouse effect is primarily caused by the trapping of heat in the Earth's atmosphere by greenhouse gases.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that the Earth receives energy from the Sun in the form of sunlight.
Step 2: Know that some of this sunlight is absorbed by the Earth's surface, warming it.
Step 3: Realize that the Earth then releases some of this heat back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation.
Step 4: Learn that greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, are present in the atmosphere.
Step 5: Understand that these greenhouse gases trap some of the heat that is trying to escape back into space.
Step 6: Conclude that this trapping of heat by greenhouse gases is what causes the greenhouse effect.
