what is the primary role of the greenhouse effect on earth?
to cause volcanic eruptions.
to create strong winds and storms.
to reflect all sunlight back into space.
to keep earth at a comfortable temperature for living things.
The greenhouse effect involves greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere trapping heat from the Sun. This trapped heat maintains a stable, warm enough temperature for life to exist. Volcanic eruptions are geological events unrelated to the greenhouse effect. Strong winds/storms are driven by atmospheric pressure differences, not the greenhouse effect. Reflecting sunlight would cool the planet, which is the opposite of the greenhouse effect's role.
