The document defines the greenhouse effect as a process where greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and re-radiate thermal radiation from the surface, trapping heat. It then explains that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide absorb infrared radiation emitted from the Earth's surface and radiate it in all directions, warming the lower atmosphere and surface. The main sources of greenhouse gases are the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, livestock, CFC refrigerants, and agriculture such as fertilizer use.

greenhouse effect
- 1. WHAT IS GREENHOUSE EFFECT A process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions. THIS IS A BOOKISH DEFINITION WE CAN SAY THAT….. Heating of Earth due to the presence of greenhouse effect
- 2. HOW DOES THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT HAPPENS
- 3. GREENHOUSES GASES R E INFRARED R RADIATIONS A D I A A T B E S D O R B E LOWERS THE D ATMOSPHERE TO WARM
- 4. SOME OF THE GREENHOUSES GASES RATIO
- 5. Greenhouse Gases 5% 13% 6% Carbon Di-Oxide Nitrous Oxide Methane 76% FluoroCarbons
- 6. MAIN NON-GASEOUS CONTRIBUTOR TO GREENHOUSE EFFECT CLOUDS As it absorbs & emit infrared radiation in the environment… It have an effect on radiative properties of the atmosphere
- 7. MAIN SOURCES OF GREENHOUSE GASES Burning of Fossil Fuels & Deforestation Livestock enteric fermentation & manure management Use of Chlorofluorocarbons {CFCs} in refrigeration systems Agricultural Activities, like use of fertilizers
- 8. EFFECTS OF GHG ON ECOSYSTEM Many species of plants & animals face the danger of extinction Increase in salinity of freshwater will affect species of freshwater fish & plants Movement among tectonic plates beneath the Earth
- 9. BEST EXAMPLE FOR GREENHOUSE EFFECT CAR PARKING IN SUNLIGHT Glass of cars lets the sunlight trap inside the car’s body Glass prevents heat to escape Thus, car goes heat up
