Chapter 15, Problem 5CE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation
The definition of the term “greenhouse gas” and the contribution of the carbon dioxide in global warming are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Global warming is a phenomenon which is defined as the rise in the temperature of the atmosphere due to the greenhouse gases.
The greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere traps the heat coming from the sun which results a rise in the temperature of the environment. The greenhouse gases comprises of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and water vapor.
