State the effects of green house gases on the atmosphere .
Effects of the greenhouse effect on the atmosphere are as follows.- Greenhouse gases lead to an increase in temperature, which is called global warming.
- An increase in temperature leads to the melting of glaciers, and polar ice caps are taking place which is leading to an increase in the sea level. This poses a threat of floods in the coastal areas.
- Global warming increases the evaporation of water from water bodies which will increase water vapor in the atmosphere. An increase in water vapor further increases the temperature.
- Global warming leads to change in rain patterns, which in turn results in a climatic shift and adversely affects plants and animals.
- Greenhouses gases are responsible for ozone layer depletion.
