Question
Chapter 4, Problem 44Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Nine of the ten warmest year since 1880 have occurred since the year 2000. It should be explained that whether this proves the enhanced greenhouse effect ( global warming) is taking place or not.
Concept introduction:
- Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors.
- Greenhouse gases are one type of gas which traps the heat within the system and thus it increases the overall temperature of the earth resulting global warming.
Examples:
- Greenhouse effect: The heat near the earth surface gets trapped by the gases present in the earth atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is the primary gas that traps more heat.
- Climate change is the long term changes in temperature and precipitation in any specific area in the earth. Climate changes will occurs through natural ways and also in anthropogenic ways.
