Which product of combustion contributes most to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is a product of the combustion of fossil fuels and this is contributing most to the accelerated greenhouse effect.
What feature contributes strongly to the greenhouse effect on Venus?
the main reason is because of so much carbon dioxide co2.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
Does the manufacture of concrete contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Yes. Concrete is made from cement, and the manufacture of cement releases carbon dioxide that had been sequestered underground for millions of years. Since the greenhouse effect is the result of atmospheric greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide, retaining heat, any increase in the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect and therefore to global warming. Because it is made from cement, concrete is an important contributor to the greenhouse effect.
What type of radiation is trapped on earth's surface by the greenhouse effect?
terestrial
How water vapour as a greenhouse gas contributes to the greenhouse effect?
Water vapour is a greenhouse gas that traps heat rising from the surface of the earth. In doing so it contributes to the natural greenhouse effect.
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
Which product of combustion contributes most to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is a product of the combustion of fossil fuels and this is contributing most to the accelerated greenhouse effect.
What does nitrogen do in the greenhouse effect?
Nitrogen (N2) is thermodynamically inert. Therefore it contributes essentially nothing to the greenhouse effect. The same is true with free oxygen (O2).
What is the common greenhouse gas?
Water vapor is actually the most common greenhouse gas. However as it plays little part in global warming, and it doesn't stay long in the atmosphere (It is constantly falling as rain) it is not classed as a dangerous greenhouse gas. It contributes to the natural greenhouse effect which keeps the earth comfortably warm.Carbon dioxide is the Most common greenhouse gas that contributes most to the accelerated greenhouse effect and so to global warming.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
Why does concrete contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Concrete is made from cement, and the manufacture of cement releases carbon dioxide that had been sequestered underground for millions of years. Since the greenhouse effect is the result of atmospheric greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide, retaining heat, any increase in the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect and therefore to global warming. Because it is made from cement, concrete is an important contributor to the greenhouse effect.
What human activity contributes to the greenhouse effect?
Deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
What contributes to maintaining the temperature on Earth?
The greenhouse effect maintains the temperature on earth as it has done for millions of years. The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming has only been happening for the past 200 years.
What feature contributes strongly to the greenhouse effect on Venus?
the main reason is because of so much carbon dioxide co2.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
