Do greenhouse gases occur naturally in the air?
Yes. Most of the greenhouse gases do occur naturally, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). By maintaining the temperature that we enjoy today, these gases are essential to life on earth as we know it, as long as the concentrations of the gases do not rise or fall appreciably. In the absence of human activity the concentrations of greenhouse gases remain more or less constant over time, so that there is no effect on global warming. However, when human activity results in even a small increment in the concentrations of greenhouse gases, we begin to get global warming and climate change.
Which greenhouse gas are you releasing the most?
We are releasing carbon dioxide the most, and methane second. Other greenhouse gases, like water vapor, occur naturally and we cannot control them.
What if you did not have greenhouse gas?
If there were no greenhouse gases the earth could not support life. Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring and allow heat to be retained within the atmosphere.
How do you use the words 'greenhouse gases' in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
Two dominant naturally occurring greenhouse gases?
Water vapor is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas. It is part of the water cycle where water evaporates from the earth.Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas. It is part of the carbon cycle which moves carbon dioxide in and out of the atmosphere from the earth, vegetation, oceans and from animals.These naturally occurring greenhouse gases in their balanced amounts are not causing global warming. They cause the greenhouse effect which has been keeping the earth warm for millions of years.
Where does xenon occur naturally?
Xenon occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It is found as a mixture of gases along with other noble gases.
Where on earth besides in a greenhouse does the greenhouse effect occur?
In the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect refers to the situation in the atmosphere where gases hold on to the heat rising from the earth.
What 11 gases occur naturally?
oxygen nitrogen hydrogen
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
Do greenhouse gasses help global warming?
They don't help with global warming naturally but the large buildup of greenhouse gases does assist with global warming.
What are some green houes gases?
Carbon dioxide and methane are naturally occurring greenhouse gases, but are also man made. CFCs previously used as propellants for aerosol and as refrigerants were really damaging greenhouse gases. These have since been replaced.
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
