How does the greenhouse effect work? A) Greenhouse gases reflect the sun’s energy, causing it to warm the earth B) Greenhouse gases directly warm oceans and cause dramatic weather C) Greenhouse gases absorb the sun’s energy, slowing or preventing heat from escaping into space D) ocean’s absorb greenhouse gases, which cause the earth’s temperature to rise

Expert Solution
Step 1

The emission of carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere enhances the greenhouse effect and which follows the increase in the global temperature. This causes global warming and increases the sea levels by the melting of polar ice. The enhanced temperature increases the water temperature of the oceans.
