How does carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses contribute the greenhouse effect?
it contributes by creating a lot of them that is why they make the greenhouse effect
What other gases might increase the greenhouse effect?
There are 5 major greenhouse gasses: water vapour, carbon dioxide (also known as CO2), methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Water vapour is the strongest greenhouse gas but it happens largely naturally (ie ocean water evaporates when the sun shines on it). The other four are largely anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gasses. See chart linked below for detailed information on greenhouse gasses (GHG's) and their contribution to the greenhouse effect.
Why is nitrogen in oxygen?
the enzyme who does it is destroyed by oxygen
How does the cap and trade agreement affect greenhouse gasses?
It will have no effect on greenhouse gases, but will likely help destroy the economy of the United States and other nations.
Is oxygen part of the air?
No. Oxygen is an element that typically comes in the form of O2. Air is a mixture of gasses and Oxygen is just one of them. Air is about 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen with another 1% being a variety of other gasses.
Which component of a volcanic eruption causes warming of the earth?
Emission of water vapor and other greenhouse gasses!
What is an example of pollutants?
Litter, greenhouse gasses, sewage, aerosol, pesticides and lots of other things.
Is carbon dioxiode a greenhouse gas?
Yes, its the most common greenhouse gas. _________________________________________________________ Yes. The chemical formula of Carbon Dioxide is CO2 Other greenhouse gasses are: water vapor (H2O), methane (CH4),
What prevents oxygen from escaping from earth?
Gravity prevents oxygen and other gasses from escaping into space.
What makes the surface of Venus so hot?
A runaway greenhouse effect caused by Venus's thick atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses.
Who said air is a mixture of 2 gasses that is oxygen and nitrogen?
No scientist in this or the last century. Air is mostly nitrogen, about a fifth oxygen and traces of several other gasses.
What are the 3 main gasses in the atmosphere and what percentage is each?
Nitrogen ~ 78% Oxygen ~ 21% CO2(and other gasses) ~ 1%
