May be a doodle of magazine, poster, plant and text that says 'THE CREENHOUSE EFFECT Helps trap heat from the sun which keeps the temperature on Earth comfortable. Human's activities are causing the amount of heat- -trapping to increase which is making the Earth warm up. The Greenhouse Effect Some solar radiation is reflected the Earth and the atmosphere. Some of the infrared radiation passes through the atmosphere. Some absorbed and re-emitted in all directions by greenhouse gas molecules. The effect this warm the Earth's surface and the lower atmosphere. Most radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and warms it.
