Accumulations of carbon dioxide can interfere with the transmissions of these rays?
infrared
What Major gaseous pollutant for thermal power station?
Carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide
Explain the atmospheric process that creates the greenhouse effect?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour, capture heat rising from the surface of the earth. This warms the atmosphere and the earth. This is a natural process that has been going on for millions of years. (Since the Industrial Revolution, more than 200 years ago, we have been burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. This has released long-hidden carbon dioxide (CO2) which is building up in the atmosphere and causing Global Warming.
What does the absorption of thermal energy from the ground do to earths surface?
The absorption of thermal energy from the ground heats the lower atmosphere and keeps Earth's surface much warmer than it would if there were no atmosphere. :)
Which gas is produced when a carbonate undergoes thermal decomposition?
Carbon Dioxide
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb thermal energy and radiate it back to earth called?
the greenhouse effect
What process produces the green house effect?
Atmospheric gases, such as watervapor and carbon dioxide, absorb thermal energy and radiate it back toearth. The gases function like the glasswalls and roof of a greenhouse, allowing solar energy to enter and preventing thermal energy from escaping.
Which process is required to allow a gravitationally-collapsing gas cloud to continue to collapse?
The cloud must radiate a lot of its thermal energy.
Radiation transfers thermal energy by?
thermal energy will always radiate to lower energy matter.
Why is silicon dioxide so important in fabrication of silicon detectors?
silicon dioxide is so important in fabrication process because it exhibits good thermal isolation and also having low thermal conductivity and more it has low thermal expansion coefficient.
What is dendro thermal?
Dendron is the Greek word for tree, and dendro-thermal energy is energy produced by burning sustainably grown wood.It is useful anywhere wood can be grown quickly, so the process is carbon-neutral. When the wood is burnt, carbon dioxide is released, but it is the same carbon dioxide that was removed from the atmosphere when the wood was grown.Burning fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for 300 million years, so it adds to the greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere.
What is the term for the measure of thermal energy in the atmosphere?

What are the gasses?
Greenhouse gasses are gases in the atmosphere that absorb, and that emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
Is there still carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
If there wasn't we should all be dead right about now. Carbon dioxide is the most influential factor in the greenhouse effect of our planet. It allows visible light rays to pass into the atmosphere, however as they pass through it, many are refracted into infrared radiation (Heat/Thermal Energy). The infrared rays are now too weak to escape our atmosphere, and therefore heat has become trapped, allowing the atmosphere to remain at a temperature that is suitable for the life on this planet. Therefore, of course there is still carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What are the negative effect of thermal polution?
All thermal power plants reject low quality heat to the environment, whether to a lake, river, or ocean, or to the atmosphere through cooling towers. Fossil fuelled plants emit carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
What is the thermal conductivity of carbon dioxide?
Thermal conductivity of gaseous carbon dioxide: 14,65 mW/(m.K) at 1,013 bar and 0 °C.
Accumulations of carbon dioxide can interfere with the transmissions of these rays?
