What+is+the+Greenhouse+Effect?-Mandy's+info.

The greenhouse effect is when greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation to pass through the Earth’s atmosphere, but prevent outgoing infrared radiation to escape into outer space. This process is natural; current life could not be sustained without it, however, humans are creating more greenhouse gases, which in turn prevent more radiation from leaving our atmosphere and raise the temperature of the Earth (helping global warming).

 * What is the Greenhouse Effect?**

The greenhouse effect controls the Earth’s temperature, the Earth's temperature is about 60ºF warmer than it would be without the greenhouse effect. This has been natural but, as humans continue to put greenhouse gases into the air, the greenhouse effect is making the Earth’s temperature warmer because more radiation is being trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere. The Earth has gained 1ºF over the century. Information taken from: http://epa.gov/climatechange/kids/greenhouse.html Image taken from: http://epa.gov/climatechange/kids/greenhouse.html
