(open ended) explain the relationship between climate and weather. energy from the sun enters the atmosphere and is retained making the temperatures on earth livable. what phenomenon explains this process? a. global warming b. the coriolis effect c. the greenhouse effect d. the up welling effect excessive burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity and run our cars may be contributing to a rise in global temperatures according to what theory? a. global warming b. greenhouse effect c. coriolis effect d. up welling effect

1) C- The greenhouse effect

The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from the sun is retained and warms the planet's surface to a temperature that makes the planet livable. There are other factors that contributed for warm temperature in a unnatural and unhealthy way, like excess burning of fossil fuels.

2)  A- Global warming  

Climate change or global warming refers to the increase of the average earth's temperature. Excess of fossil fuel burning has caused a very high increase of carbon dioxide, and consequentially, a increase of temperature. This climate change affects particular ecosystems, resulting in the extinction of many species.
