What else can I help you with?
The heat trapping ability of some gases in the atmosphere can be compared to?
The heat trapping ability of some gases in the atmosphere can be compared to a greenhouse, where they allow sunlight to enter and heat the Earth, but trap some of that heat from escaping back into space.
What greenhouse gases has been impacting the climate for the least amount of time?
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a greenhouse gas that has a relatively short atmospheric lifetime compared to other gases like carbon dioxide and methane. It is a potent greenhouse gas and is used primarily in electrical transmission and distribution 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 are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
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
What energy uses running water and produces greenhouse gases?
A hydroelectric power plant uses running water to generate electricity. While hydroelectricity is considered a cleaner energy source compared to fossil fuels, the decomposition of organic matter in the submerged areas behind hydroelectric dams can produce greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide.
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
When organic matter decays what is released?
When organic matter decays, it releases carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases contribute to the greenhouse effect and climate change. Additionally, nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus are released, which can enrich soil and support plant growth.
Which activity produces the smallest amount of greenhouse gases?
Humans produce greenhouse gases in many ways. Operating a generator or cooking with gas both will produce greenhouses gases. However, riding a bicycle will not.
Does nature produce greenhouse gases?
Natural gas is a greenhouse gas, methane, and when it is burnt it releases the other greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
How have humans or natural changes created greenhouse gases?
Humans create greenhouse gases by burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Cattle rearing and rice paddy fields release methane (CH4), another greenhouse gas. Natural causes of greenhouse gases are volcano eruptions, and the rotting of any organic matter (trees, plants and animals).
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.
What plants let out greenhouse gases?
Plants do not emit greenhouse gases. Instead, plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen. Other sources, such as decomposition of organic matter in soil or livestock digestion, can emit greenhouse gases like methane.
