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.
