Environmental effects of global warming



The greenhouse effect and global warming are issues that are talked about by geologists

all the time. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that

are livable. Energy from the sun warms the earth when its heat rays are absorbed by greenhouse

gasses and become trapped in the atmosphere. Some of the most common greenhouse gasses are

water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. If there were no greenhouse gasses, very few rays

would be absorbed and the earth would be extremely cold. When too many rays are absorbed, the

earth's atmosphere starts to warm, which leads to global warming. Global warming can lead to

many problems that affects the environment in which we live.

In order to talk about global warming, we must first learn what causes the greenhouse

effect. A lot of the rays from the sun are absorbed by water vapor that is naturally in our

atmosphere. Water vapor accounts for "80......
