The diagram represents solar energy that is absorbed by Earth's land and water surfaces and is changed into heat that radiates back into the atmosphere.What is this process called?

• ozone
• radiation
• greenhouse effect
• evaporation

A greenhouse gas which is present in very high amounts is 

• propane
• ethane
• methane
• CO2

Too many greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere may block heat from escaping into space and trap too much heat next to the Earth’s surface causing

• another ice age
• global warming
• earthquakes
• volcanic eruptions
