The name given to the phenomenon where radiation goes through a transparent object, the surfaces inside heat up and emit heat, and the air inside gets warm.
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
400
The theory that states the Earth's crust is broken into giant, moving plates which ride upon a semi-liquid mantle and cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and continue to shape the Earth's surface today...and the scientist who first proposed this theory.
