The
GREENHOUSE
EFFECT
What is a GREENHOUSE ?
In temperate countries, a greenhouse is
used to grow seedlings in the late winter
and early spring and later planted in the
open field when the weather is warmer.
Greenhouses also protect plants from
weather phenomena such as snowstorm
or dust storm.
In tropical countries, a greenhouses are
used by commercial plant growers to
protect flowering and ornamental plants
from harsh weather conditions and
insect attack.
Greenhouses
range in size from
small sheds to a
very large buildings.
They also vary in
terms of types of
covering materials.
Some are made of

others are made of

sunlight to enter but
prevent from heat
from escaping. The
transparent covering
of the greenhouse
allows visible light
to enter without
obstruction.
It warms the inside of the greenhouse as energy is absorbed by
the plants, soil and other things inside the building. Air warmed
by the heat inside is retained in the building by the roof and wall.
The transparent covering also prevent the heat from leaving by
reflecting the energy back into the walls, and preventing outside
winds from carrying it away.
is
a process by which the
Earth’s atmosphere warms
up.
The trace gases that allows the heat from the
sun to enter and prevent to escape in our
atmosphere is called
Earth’s atmosphere is compared to a
greenhouses. Aside from the nitrogen and
oxygen, Earth’s atmosphere contains trace
gases such as carbon dioxide,CO2, water
vapor, methane, CH4, and ozone, O3. Like the
glass in the greenhouse, the trace gases have
similar effect on the Sun’s rays. They allow
the sunlight to pass through, resulting in
warming up the of the Earth’s surface. But
they absorb the energy coming from the
Earth’s surface, keeping the Earth’s
temperature suitable for life on Earth.
The greenhouse
effect is a natural process
and it warms the Earth.
Without the greenhouse
effect, Earth would be
, too cold for
living things, such as
plants and animals.

- comes from grazing
animals as they digest their
food and from decaying
matter in wet rice fields.
- released from buried
wastes such as left-over
food, garden wastes, and
animal wastes collected at
home and sent to
dumpsites.
When lots of wastes compressed and packed
together, they produced methane. Coal mining
also produces methane.
Natural Greenhouse Gases
• N2 and O2 do not have absorption in the IR light , therefore, it
has no role in setting the surface temperature of the planet .
• Greenhouse gas are efficient in absorbing IR light
• The most important greenhouse gases are :
• H20 – water vapor
• CO2- Carbon Dioxide
• CH4- Methane
• NH4 – Nitrous Oxide or Ammonium
• The most abundant gas in the earth’s atmosphere is water
vapor . It trapped the IR radiation.
Man Made Greenhouse Gases
Along with natural processes, there are some
man made greenhouse keep on increasing in
the atmosphere.
• Burning of fossil fuels , coal , oil , natural gas
etc.
• Deforestation
• Generate lot of CO2 disturbs the balance of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
• Use of aerosols , hairspray cans , fridges ,
plastics etc produce a group of highly
dangerous gas called CFC which is so
harmful for atmosphere. Even small amounts
can trap a large quantites of heat , making
the earth extremely hot. This is known as
global warming.

Some experts believed that
increased levels of carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere means more
heat, thus, increasing temperature,
and causing global warming.
Global warming have been
identified as one of the factors why
polar ice caps is melting rapidly
that will cause flooding to low-
lying areas around the globe and
therefore reducing biodiversity.
This also feared as major factor of
climate change experiencing in
every corner of the world.
• Water level rises
Climate change
• Causes skin diseases
• Impediment of
agricultural production
•Climatechanges
•Changes in wildlifeadaptations and
cycles
•Meltingof polar icecaps
•Increase insea level
•Flooding in coastal areas
•Ocean Acidification
Prevention methods of the Green House
Effect:
1. Use Green technology
2. reuse and recycle
3. Take steps at Home and Office
4. Learn Smarter car usage
5. Increase Social Awareness
6. Support ‘Emissions trading’
7. Support ‘Kyoto protocol’
Prevention is better than cure.
We should work towards for a
greener future.
