THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT

1. IS:

   • A CONSECUENCE OF THE ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION

       • THE ATMOSPHERE ABSORBS SOLAR RADIATION
         • THE CO2 (OF THE ATMOSPHERE) ACTS LIKE A GREENHOUSE
           • TRAPS THE HEAT AND PREVENTS HIS RETURN TO THE ESPACE
           • TO THIS FORM THE PLANET HAS A SUITABLE TEMPERATURE FOR THE LIVING ORGANISMS

     • THE EXTINCION OF ANIMALS AND PLANTS
     • THE INCREASING OF DESERTIFICATION
     • THE MELTING OF ICE MASSES IN THE POLES
   • SOME THIGS THAT WE CAN DO TO REDUCE THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT ARE :
     • DONT USE THE CAR
