The "greenhouse effect" is a phenomenon whereby greenhouse gases in the atmosphere act to entrap heat from the sun. This process is thought to be a self-feeding cycle which can spiral out of control. (The planet Venus is a prime example of the greenhouse effect gone wild.) The greenhouse effect is supported by the earth's natural carbon and water cycles which move carbon dioxide and water vapor in and out of the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect has kept the earth comfortably warm for millions of years.

A certain amount of greenhouse effect is normal for our environment; however, too much greenhouse gas may result in extreme changes to earth's weather patterns and atmosphere, climate change.

Greenhouse gases are atmospheric gases which increase the greenhouse effect. It is hoped that by reducing the emissions of these "greenhouse gases" wherever possible we may be able to reduce or eliminate the possibility of a enhanced or accelerated greenhouse effectscenario.

A:The Enhanced Greenhouse Effect occurs when too much carbon dioxide is released in the air. This has happened for the past 200 years when we began burning fossil fuels for industry, transport and the generation of electricity. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing the recent warming of the planet.

A runaway greenhouse effect is the cause of Venus's very hot climate because it has trapped the sun's heat so much that the oceans have boiled dry.

What is another name for enhanced greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".


What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.


What are some effects of the greenhouse effect?

There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.


How is the greenhouse effect caused on a molecular level?

The greenhouse effect is caused on a molecular level by the greenhouse gases combing, thus forming the greenhouse effect and that's what causes it to be on a molecular level.


What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?

A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.
