The Greenhouse Effect On The Environment - 2037 Words

The greenhouse effect occurs when the major gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide and water vapour which then will trap heat in the atmosphere therefore those gasses act as a thick layer outside the planet surrounding the whole planet to control the climate (REF). If we did not have this layer that surrounds the planet and keeps it warm, the temperature would drop and it would not be inhabitable for humans. (REF) Containing this heat causes heat waves, droughts, and climate changes which could change our way of living on this planet. There are different types of gasses in the atmosphere, some are natural and some are manmade gasses, all of which are contribute to the greenhouse effect. Natural emissions such as: Carbon†¦show more content†¦There are a lot of manmade gasses which have been released into the atmosphere which have added to the green house layers these gasses such as sulphur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons this results in global warming which means heat that would normally be escaping through the greenhouse layers remains trapped which then start to cause the temperature to rise. Increasing the greenhouse effect can lead to global warming and climate change which will change the way we live. Deforestation: There is a lot of manmade gasses and human activities that are causing global warming and climate change such as deforestation, this has many negative effects on the planet and there are a huge amount of reasons why. According to WWO (2016) â€Å"Humans have used forests for fuel for thousands of years, and 2.6 billion people today still use biomass—mainly wood and charcoal—for cooking†. The main reasons for deforestation would be for profit such as money or providing for one’s family also a lot of farmers are use acres of forests for agriculture as the human population increases dramatically by the second the need for more food is needed so the only way to compensate for this is to plant crops
