Question

1. infer what natural phenomenon is enhanced by the surplus carbon in the atmosphere? how does the enhanced effect impact earths surface temperatures?

Explanation:

Surplus carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) in the atmosphere is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases trap heat. When there is more \(CO_2\), more heat is trapped. This leads to an increase in Earth's surface temperatures.

Answer:

The greenhouse effect is enhanced by surplus carbon in the atmosphere. The enhanced greenhouse effect causes an increase in Earth's surface temperatures.
