Is frequently using air conditioners included in ways that increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in Our Atmosphere?
Yes, both absolutely and completely. Because most electricity is still produced by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the use of that energy is responsible for additional greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
What greenhouse gas is harmful when its concentration increases in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
What would make the greenhouse effect stronger?
increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
Which would make the greenhouse effect stronger?
Increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
How do air conditioners affect the greenhouse effect?
Any use of electricity to run powerful machinery like air conditioners adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere because most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, which is causing the enhanced greenhouse effect that is producing global warming. This warming is causing climate change.
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
How people increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in atmosphere?
People, we, are increasing the concentration of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere by:Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).Cattle rearing, rice paddy farming, melting tundra and lakes, which all release methane (CH4).
How would the atmosphere become a greenhouse?
by CO2 filling up our atmosphere. Venus has the same greenhouse effect.
How can an increase in the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases such as CO2 methane water vapor and CFCs impact the global climate?
Because greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and keep it in the atmosphere. The warmer atmosphere keeps the earth warmer and the heat is extra energy which affects the climate.
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.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
