i) Microclimate
ii) Greenhouse effect
Answer
i) Microclimate - This is climatic conditions in a restricted area due to small differences of aspect slope, vegetation and human landscapes
ii) Greenhouse Effect - It is a condition where the incoming solar radiations pass through the atmosphere while the outgoing terrestrial radiation is blocked by gases/ clouds/ atmosphere making the earth retain the terrestrial radiation/ re-radiation. (This makes earth to be warmer than it would have been)/ it is a condition where the atmosphere balances the incoming and outgoing terrestrial radiation making the earth to retain optimum heat
