What is primarily responsible for warming the earth?

The primary factor responsible for warming the Earth's climate is the increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, causing the Earth's temperature to rise. This phenomenon is known as global warming.


What type of gases are responsible for trapping the sun's heat in the earth's atmosphere?

The gases that trap the sun's heat in the earth's atmosphere are called "green house gases." Some gases that contribute to this phenomenon are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and hydrofluourocarbons (HFCs). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a great website for investigating a more complete answer to this question. http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/gases.html


Is there a person called global warming?

Their is no person called Global Warming. Its the phenomenon.


What is the phenomenon in which carbon dioxide and other gases trap solar radiation in the atmosphere?

The phenomenon is called the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.


Can a solid flow or is it just liquids and gases?

Yes; this phenomenon is called creep and is accelerated at high temperatures and/or under stress.

How do liquid chemicals become gases at room temperature?

This physical phenomenon is called evaporation. Molecules with a greater energy escape from the liquid.


Where gases trap heat is called the what effect?

The phenomenon where gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb and re-radiate infrared radiation, which helps to maintain the planet's temperature. This effect is essential for sustaining life, but an excess of these gases can lead to global warming and climate change.


When the heat that is usually radiated back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation gets trapped and forms a dome that holds heat in this is called the what effect?

This is called the greenhouse effect, where certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat and prevent it from escaping into space. This phenomenon can lead to global warming and changes in climate patterns.


Why if it is a natural phenomenon is it problem?

The formation of ozone and its depletion is a natural phenomenon but at the same time the various man made factors such as the CFC's, the gases released from the jet planes are increasing the rate of depletion which was earlier in equilibrium with the rate of formation of ozone. Thus it can be said that humans are the ones most responsible for it.
