• the greenhouse effect
• atmospheric pressure
• the inversion layer

Why is the increase of Greenhouse gasses a big issue?

• It causes climate change and increase in the global temerature 
• It can lead to a major increase in Greenhouses 
• It leads to more factories
• It causes a major decrease in people

The greenhouse effect is due to

• the absorption and reradiation of infrared radiation by the atmosphere

• the reflection of ultraviolet radiation by the atmosphere

• the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the atmosphere

• the reflection of infrared radiation from Earth's surface

• the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by Earth

How is the greenhouse effect produced?

• When solar energy trespasses the atmosphere.

• When some energy is reflected back to earth.

• When the green house is burned.

• When the sun doesn't emit radiation.
