Agrotermos

Preferred term

greenhouse effect

The process by which greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere absorb infrared radiation from the sun, reflect some of it back into space and emit some of it towards the earth. This natural process provides for relatively stable and mild temperatures on earth and in the atmosphere. However, human activity can change the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which can amplify the greenhouse effect.

natural phenomena

Warming of the earth surface and the layers of the atmosphere that tends to increase with the carbon dioxide and water vapour content
