Greenhouse Effect Quiz

[1] Energy from the Sun reaches the Earth as heat, some of which is radiated into space while some is trapped by greenhouse gases and reflected back to Earth, causing natural warming. [2] However, in recent decades human activities have led to increased amounts of greenhouse gases, trapping too much heat. [3] One of the main greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, is released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels and vehicle exhaust, and deforestation results in less carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere.
