The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. The changes to the world's oceans include warming, more frequent marine heatwaves, ocean acidification, and reduced oxygen levels.

This environmental spectacle occurs when a large region of extremely hot air, created by a wildfire interacts with cooler air higher up in the atmosphere. The combination of updrafts and downdrafts leads to atmospheric instability similar to the one that creates other whirling air phenomena like ‘ dust devils ’.
