  1. Green house effect refers to
    1. cooling of earth
    2. trapping of UV rays
    3. production of cereals
    4. warming of earth
Correct Option: D

Green house effect is the rise in atmospheric temperature due to increase in concentration of green house gases. The greenhouse effect, discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824 and first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896, is the process in which the emission of infrared radiation by an atmosphere warms a planet’s surface. In the case of the Earth, without these greenhouse gases its surface would be up to 30°C cooler. The name comes from an incorrect analogy with the way in which greenhouses are heated by the sun in order to facilitate plant growth. In addition to the Earth, Mars and especially Venus have greenhouse effects. The maximum green house gases are emitted by USA.
