Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greenhouse effect is the trapping of heat within the Earth's atmosphere, largely due to increased levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. This trapping of heat leads to a warming of the planet, otherwise known as global warming. Acid rain (A) is a separate environmental issue caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Catalytic conversion (B) and fission (C) are industrial processes unrelated to global warming. Heat capacity (E) is a physical property of materials, not a cause of global warming.
