The following diagram shows how greenhouse gases trap energy from the Sun.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
The diagram illustrates, with images, the process of trapping Energy from the sun by greenhouse gases. At a glance, the general process deal both with trapping heat by greenhouse gases and the generation of extra carbon dioxide, regarding at the same time natural and human phenomena.
The natural heat process begins with the energy produced by the sun, arriving on planet Earth. At this point, energy partially returns in Space, being reflected directly off the atmosphere by clouds or by Earth’s ground. Despite this some energy, in form of heat, is trapped by greenhouse gases and remains on Earth’s atmosphere.
The reasons of a worsening of heat trapping process appear to be a consequence of human activities. First of all, the production of extra carbon dioxide, deriving from burning fossile fuels, is the consequence of car and truck traffic, joined with industrial processes. Moreover, the practice of cutting trees brings to worst atmospheric conditions, considering that trees directly contribute to the process of absorbing carbon dioxide.
