The Greenhouse Effect
The greenhouse effect occurs when gases
such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and CFCs trap heat in the
atmosphere by acting as a pane of glass in a car. The glass lets
the sunlight in to make heat, but when the heat tries to get out the gases
absorb the heat. Holding this heat in causes heat waves, droughts,
and climate changes which could alter our way of living.
The main gases that cause the greenhouse
effect are water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane, which comes
mainly from animal manure. Other gases like nitrogen oxide and chloroflurocarbons,…
