Question
- Name the two greenhouse gases.
- What is global warming?
✓
Answer
- Carbon dioxide and methane are green house gases.
- Global warming when concentration of green house gases like $\mathrm{CO}_2$ increases, these gases trap infrared radiations of sun and increase the temperature of the earth i.e. increase green house effect causing global warming. Global warming leads to abnormal changes in climate.
