English term

greenhouse effect

GBK English to Korean Science Astronomy & Space
Definition from physics.fortlewis.edu:
An increase in temperature caused when incoming solar radiation is passed but outgoing thermal radiation is blocked by the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide and water vapor are two of the major gases responsible for this effect.
Example sentences:
Without the greenhouse effect life on this planet would probably not exist as the average temperature of the Earth would be a chilly -18° Celsius, rather than the present 15° Celsius. (PhysicalGeography.net)
The earth has a natural greenhouse effect due to trace amounts of H20 and CO2 that naturally occur. The enhanced greenhouse effect refers to the augmentation of these natural gases by human activities. (Greenhouse Effect)
Atmospheric water vapour (H2O) also makes a large contribution to the natural greenhouse effect but it is thought that its presence is not directly affected by human activity. (Hong Kong Observatory)

Example sentences:
온실 효과는 태양의 열이 지구로 들어와서 나가지 못하고 순환되는 현상이다. (wikipedia)
대기는 온실 효과를 통해 지구의 온도를 유지시킨다. (greenkorea(녹색연합))
“이러한 온실효과를 감안했을 때 몇 십년 후에는 산꼭대기에 있는 빙하 몇 개만 빼놓고 대부분 퇴빙 될 수도 있을 것이다” 라고 충고했다. (UNEP Korea)
