Question

State the likely consequences of an increase in the ‘greenhouse effect’.

Answer

The likely consequences of an increase in the ‘greenhouse effect’ are:

  • Due to greenhouse effect, the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere is gradually increasing. This is called global warming.
  • Warming of atmosphere often leads to forest fires; these have become more common over the years.
  • Glaciers will melt at a higher rate and this will lead to a rise in the sea level resulting in floods and loss of soil.
