greenhouses
Glass growing buildings
Greenhouses are structures with glass or transparent walls and roof, designed to trap heat and grow plants in controlled conditions.
The greenhouse effect describes how gases in Earth's atmosphere trap solar heat similarly—a natural process that becomes problematic when intensified by carbon emissions.
The tomatoes in the greenhouse ripened weeks early.
