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.
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
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.
Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth. This extra heat is causing global warming, and is changing the climate.
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
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.
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
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.
