Chapter 16 What causes the greenhouse effect? Atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide, absorb sunlight, causing the atmosphere to heat up. The oceans absorb solar energy and trap heat, making the Earth cooler. Greenhouse gases lead to polar ice cap freezing, making the Earth warmer. Sunlight is absorbed by the Earth’s surface, reradiated as infrared energy, and absorbed by atmospheric gases. Greenhouse gases absorb ozone, leaving the Earth unprotected from ultraviolet radiation.

A construction company owed $30,000 to a local roofing company for an overdue bill from a past project. The two companies were located in a remote island. After some time, the construction company entered into a new project. The new project was not supposed to require any roof work, but as the roof turned out to need work unexpectedly, the construction company came to the roofing company for the roof work.
