A
Thank you! :)
I would have to say: D
Gah, which one do I go with? A or D??
Try google to see for sure. this question was on my final exam and I got it right.
Solar radiation is never blocked from reaching the earth becos the ozone has got holes in it which allows the solar radiation to reach the earth
Okay, I'll just google it :) Thanks for your help guys!
you welcome
The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions. Since part of this re-radiation is back towards the surface and the lower atmosphere, it results in an elevation of the average surface temperature above what it would be in the absence of the gases i fouch it is wiki
i found it in wiki
I found that the answer is C??
ohh then i m wrong ok im sorry my friend i tried my best
