A Simple Study Of Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse effect influences living things and the ecosystem in the following ways: The amount of carbon dioxide in atmosphere increases, the temperature of the earth rises and this increases the rate of photosynthesis and the crop yield.
When solar radiation penetrates the atmosphere of the earth and warms the surface of the earth, part of the heat energy is reflected back by the surface of the earth to the atmosphere in the form of infrared radiation, then heat energy which is reflected back is trapped by greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, methane, cholorofluorocarbons, combustion of fossil fuels in factories and vehicles.

A higher concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will cause more reflected energy to be trapped, this will raise the temperature of the earth and cause global warming.

The greenhouse effect causes:

• Global warming because the rise in the temperature of the earth accelerates evaporation of water and reduces soil humidity.
• Melting of ice at the north pole and the south pole will increase the sea level and cause floods in low-lying areas.
• Climatic changes such as changes in the direction of the wind and the distribution of rainfall will bring about storms, drought or floods.
• There will be a mass destruction of the habitats of animals, resulting in the migration of animals.
• Yield of crop and domestic animals is reduced.

The following measures can be taken to reduce the greenhouse effect:

• Reduce the burning of fossil fuels.
• Reduce deforestation, and replant trees which have been cut down
• Use alternative forms of energy such as wind, hydro, solar, or geothermal energy

Conclusion

The greenhouse effect causes an increase in the earth's temperature, and affecting the climate globally, and causing other negative impacts that cause harm to humans and other living things.
