The Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse effect

A) will lead to decreased sea levels.
B) decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
C) increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
D) is caused by gases such as carbon dioxide trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
E) is due to gases forming a barrier around the Earth and insulating the Earth from the sun's rays. As carbon dioxide and other gases continue to increase in the atmosphere, these gases absorb and reradiate heat back to the Earth leading to a rise in overall temperature across the Earth.
