What is the process of increasing the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere by the absorption of infrared radiation reflected from the Earth’s surface called?
The process described is known as the greenhouse effect. It involves the atmosphere trapping heat that has been reflected or re-emitted from the Earth’s surface in the form of infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are the primary agents in this process, ensuring that the Earth remains warm enough to support life by retaining vital thermal energy now. ANSWER: (A) Greenhouse effect
