Which form of heat transfer is caused by the green houses effect?
Radiation is the form of heat transfer that is caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide is an example of a greenhouse gas.
How are greenhouse gases caused by the sun?
Greenhouse gases like water vapour, carbon dioxide, and methane are not caused by the sun. They are warmed by the sun and they hold the heat to keep the earth warm. This is called the greenhouse effect.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
Is the greenhouse effect caused solely by humans?
No, there is a natural greenhouse effect which has kept the earth warm for millions of years. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, humans are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Is global warming another term for the greenhouse effect?
No. The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gasses, called greenhouse gasses, help to trap heat within Earth's atmosphere. This effect has been in place for as long as Earth has had an atmosphere and is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the planet would freeze over. Global warming is primarily the result of an enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by extra geenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere.
How is the greenhouse effect caused on a molecular level?
The greenhouse effect is caused on a molecular level by the greenhouse gases combing, thus forming the greenhouse effect and that's what causes it to be on a molecular level.
What heat is caused by the greenhouse effect?
Global warming in the atmosphere is the heat caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases produced by industrial factories are the main causes of greenhouse effects.
What form of heat is caused by the greenhouse effect?
There are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection and radiation. The heat transfer caused by the greenhouse effect is radiation.
What form of heat transfer is caused by the greenhouse effect?

Which form of heat transfer is caused by the green houses effect?
Radiation is the form of heat transfer that is caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide is an example of a greenhouse gas.
Why is the greenhouse effect caused by fossil fuel dangerous?
The greenhouse effect caused by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which releases carbon dioxide, is called the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect. This is causing global warminq, which is dangerous.
Does the greenhouse effect only effect the Venus?
No. That's what global warming is caused by.
The greenhouse effect might be caused by the increase of?
The greenhouse effect is caused by carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases like methane emitted into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Does a planet need atmosphere to have a Greenhouse Effect?
Yes. The greenhouse effect is caused by gasses that block thermal radiation from a planet's surface.
Is the greenhouse effect natural or human caused event?
both
What are some aspects that ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect have in common?
There are important aspects of ozone depletion and greenhouse effect. They are caused by same sources.
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.
