READ AND EXPLAIN IN YOUR OWN WORDS WHY THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR OUR PLANET



The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.
Have you ever seen a greenhouse? Most greenhouses look like a small glass house. Greenhouses are used to grow plants, especially in the winter. Greenhouses work by trapping heat from the sun.
The Earth’s atmosphere is all around us. It is the air that we breathe. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere behave much like the glass panes in a greenhouse. Sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, passing through the blanket of greenhouse gases. As it reaches the Earth's surface, land, water, and biosphere absorb the sunlight’s energy. Once absorbed, this energy is sent back into the atmosphere. Some of the energy passes back into space, but much of it remains trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases, causing our world to heat up.

The greenhouse effect is important. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the Earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals.

60ºF are 15.5ºC

bye-bye!!!!^^

hello I'm josé from 3ºb!! that's my explain.

the greenhouse-effect is good for the earth planet because its makes that the average of temperature of the planet would be about 60º Fahrenheit ( 15ºC )
The greenhouse-effect is made of many gases in the atmosphere . Nowadays the greenhouse effect is stronger , because the humans produce more dangerous gases. so the temperature is higher and the ozon's cap is hurt. so sunlight enter and its make that the temperature hotter too.
Without the greenhouse-effect the earth won't be warm and humans wouldn´t live here.

Hi teacher i'm santiago

the text is about the greenhouse effect.
The earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere,for example water vapor,carbon dioxide,etc.
the earth's average temperature is 60ºF colder.

hey theache'!i'm Adelina :p.....this is my sumarry.
The green house effect it's very risky for the earth because it can prejudice the climate and all the life on the earth.The polluation play a very important role in the greenhouse effect.The gases emanated for the cars,headquarters,vulcans...get on to the atmosphere and trap energy from the sun.This event makes earth temperature rise and bring about floods,fire,epidemics and if we don't do nothing to stop it,this can even fetch the disappearance of the life on earth.


ohhh....and 60ºF are 15,5ºC bye-bye and see ya.:*:*

I'm david from 3ºb and this is my summary:

The greenhouse effect is very bad for the planet, because the cars, motorbikes and others transports product CO2 emissions, but, if we use the transport public, we'll pollute less.
The next point about of the rubbish, this theme is very important because the rubbish is very important in the society, is very important recycle the rubbish; the glass in the container green; the paper or the carton in the container blue and the metal or the oder products in the container yellow.
see you later ;^)

hello I'm Patri 3ºB
our planet is getting worse because humans are very insensitive with the enviromment.
Every day there are less forest areas and more carbon dioxide.If we try to recycle more, we will have less rubbish and more water.The situation excessive use of cars pollutes the atmosphere.If we use public transport ,we will reduce greenhouse effect.The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature.If the greenhouse effect is bigger,we will die.

Hi!!! I'm gema from 3ºB

The greenhouse effect.

the greenhouse effect is the rise in the temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere retain energy from the sun.without these gases,Earth's average temperature would be about 15 centigrade.without the greenhouse effect,the Earth wouldn't be warm enough for humans to live.
16ºF=15,5ºC
BYE!!!XD

Hello i'm Pablo from 3ºb

The greenhouse effect is the answer of the increse of the temperature.Without the greenhouse effect the earth is condenmed because without them the temperature is The Coldest but with excesive Greenhouse effect the earth is too Condemmed because the Hottest Temperature!

The Solution? No Contamination please!

60ºF is 15'5 ºc
