3.Habitat loss and destruction: as a direct result of human activity and population growth

20
Q

greenhouse gases

A

نفس فكرة البيت المحمي بس انه تصير بالطبيعة في الغلاف الجوي بسبب كثرة انواع معينة من الغازات يصير حبس للحراره في مناخ الارض فتزيد الحرارة في مناطق وفي مناطق تزيد البرودة، وفي البيت المحمي يستعملوا نوع معين من البلاستيك او الزجاج ويصير حبس للحرارة داخل المحمية
