How are greenhouse gases produced and are they more or less of a problem than carbon dioxide?
The greenhouse gases that are causing global warming are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).
This carbon dioxide comes from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. The methane comes from rotting organic material in landfills, pig and cattle farms and from melting tundra and lakes.
Methane is a greenhouse gas twenty-one times more dangerous, than carbon dioxide, but there is much more carbon dioxide.
What else can I help you with?
Which gas is produced as a waste product by combustion and by respiration and is also a 'greenhouse gas'?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas produced as a waste product by combustion and respiration. It is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Are greenhouse gasses less of a problem than carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is a green house gas. It is a minor contributor to the total greenhouse effect producing over 5% of all warming.
What gas is produced when coal and oil are burned?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced when coal and oil are burned. This greenhouse gas contributes to global warming and climate change.
Which two substances are produced when burning paraffin?
When burning paraffin, two main substances produced are carbon dioxide and water vapor. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and water vapor contributes to the overall increase in atmospheric humidity.
How can carbon dioxide be produced to pump into a greenhouse?
Carbon dioxide can be produced for use in a greenhouse by burning natural gas or propane, using fermentation from organic matter, or through the combustion of solid biomass. It can also be acquired from industrial sources as a byproduct of certain processes. Proper ventilation and safety measures should be in place when introducing carbon dioxide into a greenhouse to ensure the well-being of plants and humans.
What greenhouse gas produced by humans activities has dramatically increased in earths atmosphere?
CO2; Carbon Dioxide
Does Ethanol contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Ethanol is a biofuel produced from vegetable matter. When the crop grows, it removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When the biofuel is burnt, that same carbon dioxide is released. So ethanol, basically, is carbon-neutral and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
What is carbon dioxide in the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas. It also causes global warming.
How is cabron dixiode related to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide helps the greenhouse in one way. Plants in the greenhouse needs carbon dioxide to grow.
Where does most of the Carbon produced from burning fossil fuels end up?
It goes into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. The heat produced by burning fuel comes from forming the carbon-oxygen chemical bonds that creates CO2.
Does paraffin contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Yes, paraffin is produced from petroleum, a fossil fuel. It contains carbon dioxide from millions of years ago, so when it is burnt it adds to the normal greenhouse effect which has become overwhelmed by all the extra carbon dioxide. The normal greenhouse effect is now warming into the accelerated greenhouse effect.
Is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere.
