Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

 The greenhouse effect is the rapid warming of the Earth due to the trapping of heat in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are able to allow light energy to enter the atmosphere, but make it difficult for the reflected rays to leave the atmosphere.
 The greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane (both of which are produced in large quantities by human related activities), water vapor, and chlorofluorocarbons . These are constantly insulting the atmosphere.
 The greenhouse effect is something that is needed for life to exist on Earth. The problem lies with the intensification brought on by humans. The main contribution to greenhouse gases that we make is from energy consumption.
 There are many things that can occur with global warming. There will be a decline in biological productivity, the melting of the Arctic, and major disruptions to all ecosystems. Many more are listed in the chapter.
