Concept:

  • Greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere prevent the rays of the Sun reflected from the Earth’s surface to escape the atmosphere thus trapping the radiations.
  • The trapped radiations warm the Earth’s atmosphere, causing increases in the global temperature. This is called the greenhouse effect.

  • And because of the increase in temperature icy bodies start melting and increases the sea level.

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is due to an increase in the temperature of the planet due to an increase in carbon dioxide concentration of the atmosphere 

Mistake Points

Global Warming

  • An increase in average temperature of the earth surface due to the greenhouse effect is called global warming
  • It also refers to the increase in average temperature of the air and sea at the earth's surface
  • Hence, the surface of the earth becomes warm which causes global warming
  • The phenomenon is similar to that of greenhouse in which the glass-enclosed atmosphere gets heated up due to its insulation from the rest of the environment
