Climate Change Quiz

What is the greenhouse effect?

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from the sun warms the planet's surface.

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere.
