Monitoring the Environment


	Greenhouse Effect	Role
	Greenhouse gases absorb reradiated infared radiation off the earth's surface. Greenhouse gases allow thermal energy to escape into space at an equal rate of absorption to maintain a steady average global temperature. Cycles in nature form greenhouse gases: H2O, CO2, CH4, N2O, O3
