Question 1 [20]
1.1 Write explanatory notes on the greenhouse effect. (7)
A greenhouse is a structure with walls and a roof made mainly of
transparent materials, such as glass or plastic, designed to trap heat from
sunlight and create a controlled environment for plant growth.
Explanatory Notes on the Greenhouse Effect (7 marks)
The greenhouse effect is a natural process where certain gases trap
heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄),
and water vapor.
Sunlight passes through the atmosphere, and the Earth absorbs
energy.
Some of this energy is radiated back as infrared heat.
Greenhouse gases absorb and re-radiate this heat, warming the
planet.
Excess greenhouse gases from human activities increase global
temperatures, leading to climate change.
