What is the difference between greenhouse effect and greenhouse enhanced greenhouse effect?

Answer 1

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the Earth warm. Without it, the earth would be unable to retain enough heat to sustain life.

The enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by the all the extra greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane etc) that we put into the air from burning fossil fuels and agriculture (cattle belches). These all trap more heat and radiation from the sun than is normally required. The earth radiates infrared energy from the sunlight that reaches the surface which should escape off into space, but due to the enhanced greenhouse effect, this radiation is trapped. Therefore, the overall temperature of the globe rises.

See this link below for a diagram:
Global warming is the increase of the average temperature of the earths atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is caused by high concentrations of methane, co2 and water vapour in the earth's atmosphere . These gases occur naturally (natural greenhouse effect) however due to human activity (cars, burning fossil fuels, deforestation) more of these gases are released, and this enhances the greenhouse effect (so it is called the enhanced greenhouse effect.)

Answer 2

Naturally occurring greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane, largely) are part of the greenhouse effect which has kept the earth warm for millions of years. They are part of the carbon and water cycles.

The gas causing the enhanced greenhouse effect is mostly carbon dioxide. By burning fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) man is releasing billions of tons of extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere (that has been hidden under the ground for 300 million years). This extra carbon dioxide is overloading the carbon cycle and causing global warming, as the carbon cycle cannot reduce the levels in the atmosphere.

Answer 3

The natural greenhouse effect and the enhanced greenhouse effect are similar because they are both caused by greenhouse gases which absorb heat being radiated from the earth, and prevent it being transmitted into space. The natural greenhouse effect occurs when carbon dioxide levels are in the long-term average range of 260-280 parts per million (ppm), while the enhanced greenhouse effect causes temperatures to rise when carbon dioxide levels rise beyond this level.

Answer 4

They are the same gases. The increased levels of carbon dioxide are what are considered as causing the enhanced greenhouse effect.
