Question
Chapter 4.9, Problem 4.30YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The amount of carbon dioxide is Earth’s atmosphere is increasing; the reasons behind this has to be listed out.
Concept introduction:
- Ø Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors.
- Ø 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:
- Ø 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.
- Ø Atmosphere: The atmosphere is defined as air that is layer of gases which surrounds the earth due to gravity of earth.
- Ø The earth atmosphere consists of layers such as thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere and troposphere depending on the temperature and its composition.
