A natural phenomenon that traps sun’s radiation within the earth’s atmosphere- Higher concentration of Green House gases means warmer climate
Green House Gases:
Carbon di Oxide: ( Greatest impact- due to deforestation and burning of fossil fuel- Level increased 27 times since mid 18th century
,
Nitrous oxide; because of fertilizer use and chemical production such as nylon
CFC and halons: CfC from Refrigerators, aerosol sprays, air conditioners and latter in fire fighting equipment
Methane: when bacteria have accesses organic matter-rice/paddy fields, swamps, garbage dumps, landfills- Increased 100% since 1765,
Ozone: consisting of 3 atoms of Oxygen-Shields earth from sun’s UV rays -Sunlight reacting with automobile emissions and water vapour causes its depletion.-- Major component of smog- Has a high rate of breakdown- CFCs have caused hole in ozone over Antarctica
Anthropogenic greenhouse gases are increasing global average temperatures.
