Global Warming is the gradual increase in the temperature of earth’s atmosphere.

Explanation:

Due to presence of atmosphere on Earth, the sun radiations are trapped in the lower atmosphere. This rises the temperature of the Earth gradually. This has led to a habitable temperature of the Earth.

With increase in green house gases in the atmosphere recently, more heat is being trapped leading to rise in average temperature of Earth. This is known as Global warming.

Explanation:

There are three major ways in which heat or thermal energy is transferred namely: conduction, convection and radiation. Please find the description of each below;

- Conduction is the method of heat transfer which involves a physical contact between the substances involved.

- Convection, on the contrary, occurs via a liquid medium

- RADIATION is a method of heat transfer which involves neither physical contact or liquid medium (matter) but occurs through WAVES e.g electromagnetic waves. For example, the sun transfers heat to the Earth via RADIATION.
