Question
which results from an increase in the greenhouse effect?
continental shifts
wildfires
volcanic eruptions
global warming
The greenhouse effect traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. An increase in the greenhouse effect leads to a rise in global average temperatures, which is defined as global warming. Continental shifts are due to plate tectonics, volcanic eruptions are geological events (and can sometimes affect climate but aren't a direct result of increased greenhouse effect), and wildfires are often caused by human activity or natural ignition sources, not directly by the greenhouse effect.
