The following diagram shows how greenhouse gases trap energy from the Sun. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown in the diagram.

The given diagram demonstrates the greenhouse effect on the earth through increased emission of

carbon

dioxide

via burning fuel and decreased reabsorption of the gas

due to

the felling of trees. Looking from an

overall

perspective it is readily apparent that global warming is a vicious cycle which initiates with excessive production and unsuccessful reabsorption of

carbon

dioxide

which are the result of excessive burning of fossils and massive deforestation respectively. The sun is the greatest source of power to our planet, it delivers light, and

heat

in electromagnetic waves.

Heat

power derived from the sun is absorbed by the ground and water and they emit

this

power as

heat

rays again into the higher atmosphere making the earth cool and comfortable. Vehicles which use burning fossil as their energy source surplus a lot of

carbon

dioxide

, exceeding the limits that nature can handle.

Furthermore

,the exponential amount of

heat

emitted into the environment by factories

while

generating energy through burning hydrocarbons releases

carbon

dioxide

.

on the other hand

,cutting down trees that are natural detoxifiers of green gases has contributed to

this

issue in a critical way.These gases form a layer of thick clouds which obstruct the pathway of reflection of

heat

from the lower atmosphere to the upper,trapping the warmth within the globe and causing global warming.
