what is the greenhouse effect?
a the greenhouse effect disperses the suns heat throughout the atmosphere.
b the greenhouse effect traps heat in the atmosphere.
c the greenhouse effect intensifies the suns heat in the atmosphere.
d the greenhouse effect prevents heat from entering the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is a natural process where certain gases in the atmosphere (like carbon dioxide, methane) trap heat. This is similar to how a greenhouse traps heat. Option A is incorrect as it's about trapping, not dispersing. Option C is wrong because it's not about intensifying the sun's heat but trapping the heat that would otherwise escape. Option D is incorrect as it's about trapping heat, not preventing heat from entering.

Answer:

B. The greenhouse effect traps heat in the atmosphere.
