What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
What types of greenhouse gases affect the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is believed to have issues with CFC's. Water vapor, the most common greenhouse gas, also affects the levels of ozone in our atmosphere. The issue of greenhouse gases though, is not normally connected to the concept of ozone depletion.
What might happen to the water cycle as greenhouse gases increase?
there will be no water
How does the greenhouse effect moderate climates?
Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, water molecules and dust in the atmosphere . It affects the climate of a region by absorbing solar radiation from the sun and keeping in the heat, which warms the climate. (Kind of like a plant greenhouse. It keeps in the heat.)
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.
By wasting water does it affect the greenhouse gases?
Yes, indirectly, more energy is used to replace the wasted water.

Are Greenhouse gases caused by water vapour?
No, they are not.
What is the concentration of greenhouse gases in the air?
The concentration of greenhouse gases in the air, largely water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane, are causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which is global warming.The amounts of greenhouse gases in the air are:5% Water Vapor0.039% CO2Trace (less then 0.001%) small amounts of other gases (methane, nitrous oxide etc)Water vapor absorbs heat like other greenhouse gases.
What is the four ways in which air pollution affects the environment?
Four ways that air pollution affects the environment:When greenhouse gases build up in earth's atmosphere, they trap heat, so when more greenhouse gases build up, more heat is trapped, causing global warming.NOx and SOx combine with water to create acid precipitation.Ethylene affects plant growth.Hydrogen Sulfide is a toxic air pollutant.
Which gases in the atmosphere trap the sun's warmth?
greenhouse gasesThe main greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.
What might happen to the water cycle as greenhouse gases increase?
there will be no water

What do greenhouse gases contain?
The earth's atmosphere contains trace gases, some of which absorb heat. These gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide) are referred to as greenhouse gases.
What are the two important greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)
