What does carbon dioxide produced by planes do?
It damages the environment by adding to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.Greenhouse gases are responsible for the greenhouse effect, which keeps the planet warm.Additional gases from the burning of fossil fuels are producing the enhanced greenhouse effect which is warming the planet.
What is the connection between the cutting of Brazilian rainforest and greenhouse efffect?
The rain-forests are important to the environment because they filter gases, such as carbon and methane, common greenhouse gases, in the atmosphere. Without them, there is nothing to stop the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases then trap more heat, adding to global warming. THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT!
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
What is the purpose of reducing greenhouse gases?
If we don't reduce the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere the earth will get warmer and warmer. Greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat. Whenever we burn fossil fuels, that is, for transport or to produce electricity, we are adding more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is what is causing global warming.
What intensifies the greenhouse effect?
Adding additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere intensifies the greenhouse effect. We are doing this by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which releases carbon dioxide.
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
How has the greenhouse effect affected our climate?
The enhanced greenhouse effect is happening because we are adding additional carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases trap in heat from the sun making the earth warmer.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of?
The planet(s) through solar radiation and the retention of a small portion of this heat through atmospheric gases. The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mostly water vapor and carbon dioxide. This is a natural effect that has gone on for millions of years. The enhanced greenhouse effect, what we are experiencing now, is caused by the warming of the extra greenhouse gases that man is adding to the atmosphere, largely by burning fossil fuels, and by deforestation.
How does the addition of more greenhouse gases over time affect earths average temperature?
Greenhouse gases absorb heat rising from the suface of the earth. The more greenhouse gases there are, the more heat is absorbed. This is what is happening now. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), we are adding extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and this is causing global warming.
