However, excessive concentrations of these gases—particularly due to human activities—can lead to global warming and climate change.

This energy drives the water cycle, creates wind through changes in air pressure, and fuels cloud formation and storms. Greenhouse gases help trap heat, keeping Earth warm enough for life while allowing weather systems to constantly shift and change.
