Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface, essential for life, while global warming refers to the recent increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities. Greenhouse gases absorb and re-radiate heat, maintaining Earth's temperature. Mars's atmosphere is mostly CO₂. The ozone layer protects life by absorbing harmful UV radiation.
