What is the process in which heat is trapped in earth's atmosphere by water vapor carbon dioxide and other gases that form a blanket around earth?
Greenhouse effect
Which of the what is are removed by expiration Carbon dioxide vapor Oxygen Carbon dioxide and water vapor?
By expiration carbon dioxide is released.
Does carbon dioxide and water vapor help prevent energy from escaping from earth?
Yes. Water vapor and carbon dioxide form layers in the atmosphere, absorbing heat (infrared radiation) near the Earth instead of allowing it to go off into space. You can experience it yourself by comparing the temperature during an overcast night with the temperature on a clear night. (This is one reason a desert can be hot in the daytime but extremely cold at night, as there are few clouds and little water vapor to trap the Earth's re-radiated energy.)
Earth's primordial atmosphere most likely included?
Carbon dioxide, water vapor, sulfur dioxide, and methane.
Carbon dioxide and water vapor help to prevent what from escaping from earth?
energy energy
What are water vapor and carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere good absorbers of?
infrared radiation

What product is released into earth's atmosphere through combustion of fossil fuels?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water vapor.
The two principle absorbers of radiation emitted by earth's surface are carbon doxide and?
water vapor and carbon dioxide.
What product is released into Earth's atmosphere through the combustion of fossil fuels?
