The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon actually. It helps to regulate the average temperature of the earth. But over the past 40 years, the temperature of the earth keeps on increasing as too much greenhouse gases are retained in atmosphere and causes GLOBAL WARMING.

Consequential of greenhouse effect

Global warming: the increase in the average temperature of the earth High temperature causes drought occurs Flood occurs at low and areas as the level of the sea rises More inland lakes and rivers may dry up and deserts may expand

GREENHOUSE
 Found in temperate countries

 Use to grow plants and vegetables  The heat from the sun is trapped inside and this keeps the soil and air warm

Greenhouse gases
Carbon dioxide Methane Nitrous oxide CFCs

Solutions to global warming Reduce the burning of fossil fuel to conserve energy Develop alternative sources of energy Reduce deforestation Replant trees which had been cut down
