What influences the greenhouse effect?
Greenhouse cause global warming and possibly increasing carbon dioxide from pollutants and also climate change. Global warming like to build up of green house gases in the atmosphere. Climate change like including average temperature and precipitations. the gases of the greenhouse are;carbon dioxyde, ozone, methane, fluorocarbon.
Which climatic zone does India come under?

What is the difference between greenhouse effect and greenhouse enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the Earth warm. Without it, the earth would be unable to retain enough heat to sustain life.The enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by the all the extra greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane etc) that we put into the air from burning fossil fuels and agriculture (cattle belches). These all trap more heat and radiation from the sun than is normally required. The earth radiates infrared energy from the sunlight that reaches the surface which should escape off into space, but due to the enhanced greenhouse effect, this radiation is trapped. Therefore, the overall temperature of the globe rises.See this link below for a diagram:Global warming is the increase of the average temperature of the earths atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is caused by high concentrations of methane, co2 and water vapour in the earth's atmosphere . These gases occur naturally (natural greenhouse effect) however due to human activity (cars, burning fossil fuels, deforestation) more of these gases are released, and this enhances the greenhouse effect (so it is called the enhanced greenhouse effect.)
Why is ozone layer greenhouse effect bioaccumulation and acid rain so important to your environment?
These are very important phenomenon. They keep the statues under check.
Would the melting of permafrost cause a runaway greenhouse effect?
It's possible. Yes. Permafrost is essentially frozen peaty deposits in many of the arctic regions of the world. As the organics have slowly decomposed over thousands of years under anaerobic conditions they have released methane gas which has been trapped in the ice and organic fiber matrix of the permafrost materials. Melting permafrost releases this methane which is a potent greenhouse gas. The feedback of global warming causing the melting and the melting releasing methane to enhance the warming effect creates a greater and growing problem.
Is greenhouse gas a natural causes of global warming or is it man-made?
Greenhouse gas is a natural cause of the greenhouse effect, and a man-made cause of global warming and climate change.Natural:The earth's carbon cycle and water cycle release carbon dioxide and water vapor into the atmosphere and take them back again. This is natural and causes the greenhouse effect, which has kept the earth warm enough for life since life began.Man-made:When man began digging up and burning coal and oil, 250 years ago we released a lot of carbon that had been safely stored under the ground for millions of years. This extra carbonis what is causing global warming and climate change.
The greenhouse effect happens because gases in the air absorb the sun's radiation - why does this matter?
This matters because as the amount of greenhouse gases increases, it prevents the radiation moving out into space and keeping the planet at a steady temperature. Since the industrial revolution 200 years ago we have been gradually burning more and more coal and oil, and so releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Our demand for mean means that we cut down forests so that billions of cattle can graze. These cattle belch out methane, a more dangerous greenhouse gas. If the earth warms up by more than two degrees our coastlands will be under water, our fertile lands will be desert and millions of climate change refugees will be moving all over the globe in search of water and crop growing lands.
The greenhouse effect is the condition of Earth's temperature increasing because there is more of this gas in the air?
Absolutely not. The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring absorption of heat, mostly by water vapor, that allows us to have some heat during hours of no sunlight. Without this effect, we would be a very dead planet. While ozone is considered a greenhouse gas, it's contribution to the overall issue is far under 1% of the effect. In terms of man made gas, carbon dioxide is the real issue, making up 5% to 25% of the total warming.
What is the function of the natural greenhouse effect?
The Earth would be a much colder place without the heat trapping effect of CO2 and methane, and life would probably never have evolved without it. The recent increase in greenhouse gasses is something we don't need, though. So,we need it to keep us warm.
What is the link between greenhouse effect and global warming?
Global warming is the direct result of the greenhouse effect. Without carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to act as a greenhouse gas, the world would be some 30 degrees colder than at present and life as we know it would be impossible. So the greenhouse effect is essential for human existence. It is the anthropogenic increase in greenhouse gases that is now causing concern. The present average global temperature is just about right for human comfort and civilisation. Greenhouse gas emissions are contributing to a rise in average global temperatures to a point that will have serious economic and social impacts on our lifestyle.
Australia comes under which zone?
Australis is in many time zones and many climatic zones.
How are greenhouse effect and global warming different?
They are similar. The greenhouse effect is more of what causes global warming. The greenhouse effect is a build up of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the upper atmosphere. This (mostly) carbon dioxide (CO2) acts similarly to the glass roof of a green house. Light passes through CO2 (because it's a clear gas) and hits the ground. The atoms in the ground absorb light, and some of their electrons jump to higher energy electron shells. Later, these same electrons fall back to their original positions, or stable state, and re-radiate heat energy (well it's really infrared light, but that translated into heat when it hits something). Under normal conditions, most of this infrared light can escape the atmosphere. However, carbon dioxide happens to be one of the substances that reflects infrared light. This traps heat in the earth, preventing it from escaping into space, and heating up the earth.While above is the greenhouse effect, global warming is the result of the greenhouse effect. Global warming is basically the heating of the earth on a world wide scale. This will damage environments, alter oceanic currents, kill many animal species and alter our air currents.Depending on where you live, you could experience more snow, or extreme drought. In New York, we have had more snow than I can ever remember because warmer ground actually increases the chance of snow. You see upward air drafts, caused by relatively warm air, lift evaporated water high into the atmosphere, where it undergoes adiabatic expansion and cools. As it cools, it sublimes to form snow. Global warming causes more warm upward air-drafts, therefore causing more snow. This is why global warming is now being called global climate change, because it does not necessarily make certain areas warmer, due to changes in air and water currents.
