    [1] Energy from the Sun reaches the Earth as heat, some of which is radiated into space while some is trapped by greenhouse gases and reflected back to Earth, causing natural warming. [2] However, in recent decades human activities have led to increased amounts of greenhouse gases, trapping too much heat. [3] One of the main greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, is released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels and vehicle exhaust, and deforestation results in less carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere.

    The passage discusses how the greenhouse effect leads to global warming when too much heat is trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

    Solar radiation reaches the Earth and is either reflected back to space or absorbed and re-radiated, trapping heat. Human activities are increasing greenhouse gases which enhances this effect.

    Some of the main greenhouse gases mentioned are carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.

    Direction: Complete the answer by filling the gaps with a word or phrase

    from the box below.

    Energy from the Sun 1 ________ the Earth as heat. Some of this heat
    energy is 2____________ radiated into space, while some of it is
    trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and reflected back to Earth.
    This is a natural process, but in recent 3______, human activities have
    4_______ an increase in the 5________ of greenhouse gases in the
    atmosphere which is now trapping too much 6______.

    Plants serve to remove some of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
    byabsorbing it through their leaves. However, as large areas of forest have
    been 11_______ in the Amazon and elsewhere, 12______ carbon
    dioxide is removed in this way.

    Direction: Arrange the following step by step on how greenhouse effect
    works (1-6).

    _______1. This is trapping extra heat, and causing the Earth's


    temperature to rise.
    _______2. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, agriculture and
    land clearing are increasing the amount of greenhouse gases released into
    the atmosphere.
    _______3. Some of this heat is trapped by greenhouse gases in the
    atmosphere, keeping the Earth warm enough to sustain life.
    _______4. The rest of the sun's energy is absorbed by the land and the
    oceans, heating the Earth.
    _______5. Solar radiation reaches the Earth's atmosphere - some of this is
    reflected back into space.
