Greenhouse gasses or GHGs (carbon dioxide, methane and a few others) are emitted from natural and manmade sources.

The Earth is set to handle the amount from natural sources, but the extra from manmade sources tips the balance to cause a slow increase in the GHGs.

Mankind can restore the balance by

* reducing the emissions from fuel burning (the primary cause) or * by increasing the amount taken from the air by increasing forest cover or the creation of other carbon absorbing systems.

What gases are not greenhouse gas?

Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.


How do greenhouse gases kill grass?

Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to higher temperatures and changing weather patterns. This can result in drought conditions, extreme heat, or increased presence of pests and diseases that can harm grass and other vegetation.


How do greenhouse gas emissions impact change?

Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth. This extra heat is causing global warming, and is changing the climate.

How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?

Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are essential in mitigating the impacts of climate change.


What are greenhouse?

Non-greenhouse gases are all gases except the greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are those that can absorb and emit infrared radiation.The most abundant greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are:Water vapor (H2O)Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)Ozone (O3)CFCs


Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
