a.Any gas in the atmosphere that is capable of trapping heat. EX: carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor
b.Area in the atmosphere over Antarctica that was created due to the output of greenhouse gases. It is now shrinking due to decreased use of these gases.
c.A ______ is an era of time that results of Earth experiencing extremely LOW global temperatures.
