Greenhouse Effect: The greenhouse effect refers to the trapping of heat by certain gases in Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane. It contributes to global warming and influences global average temperatures.
Climate Change: Climate change refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns caused by factors like increased greenhouse gas emissions. Rising global average temperatures are one of the key indicators of climate change.
Heatwaves: Heatwaves are prolonged periods of excessively hot weather occurring over a large area. They can become more frequent and intense with rising global average temperatures.
