How do people create greenhouse gases?

Answer 1

1. Water vapour is produced from lakes, rivers and oceans. It is a natural greenhouse gas and we cannot control it.
2. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced naturally in the carbon cycle from trees, land and ocean. Extra CO2 is produced by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
3. Methane is produced from fermenting and rotting vegetation, and from ruminant animals like cattle. Global warming is causing tundra and frozen lakes to melt, releasing frozen methane.

Water vapor makes up roughly 75% of all greenhouse gas forcing. It makes up roughly 95% of all of the green house gases in our atmosphere. This is done through the evaporation of water and is a natural process.

The second largest force in terms of green houses gases is CO2. This makes up 9 to 26% of all green house heating. 94% of this gas is produced through the rotting of dead plants. Man is responsible for the remaining 6% of this gas. Man produces this gas by burning that material that would rot or by the burning of fossil fuels to mover cars, heat homes or fuel industry. The largest single portion of this is produced (over 50%) by heating and powering homes. Man also prevents a great deal of CO2 from being produced by using lumber that is cut from forests. This causes a artificial carbon sink. The wood inside a structure decays slower and thereby does not enter the atmosphere.

The remaining gases make up virtually no additional heating.

The largest source of removing CO2 from our atmosphere is our oceans. They remove 70% of the CO2.

Having said this we can determine how these gases are made. 80 to 90% of all greenhouse gases are made by water evaporating from the oceans. Another 10 to 20% are made from rotting vegetation or life forms that have died and are decaying.

The remaining 0.28% is man made. Over half of this is due to our homes. Heating, air conditioning and power for our homes make up OVER 50% of what we create. The remaining 0.13% (or other half from man) is due to our transportation needs. These includes bringing vegetables and fruit from other areas to our local tables.

Another example of man producing CO2 is to exhale. Another issue such as METHANE would be through farting. Man is not alone as the animals contribute to green house gases as well. As for the planets, they love us and take in the CO2 and release another greenhouse gas we all call OXYGEN.

1. Take a look at H2O and let it evaporate into HYDROGEN and OXYGEN. When the gases reach altitude they bond and form rain clouds and then come back down as H2O.

Answer 2

99.7% of all greenhouse gases are produced naturally. Water vapor, which makes up the vast bulk of our green house gases (80 to 90%) is produced through the evaporation of our oceans and waterways.

Carbon dioxide is produced through any decay of material that was living. Rotting trees produce the same CO2 as burning that same tree. 97% of all CO2 comes from the rotting of vegetation or animal life that has died.

Methane comes from gaseous outputs of animals. 99% of all methane comes from wildlife. Man produces a small portion of this gas by raising cattle.

Ozone is also a green house gas. The thinning of this layer is currently what is being blamed for the main cause of ice growth in the Antarctic. Ozone is also produced naturally through sunlight hitting the oxygen in our atmosphere.

Answer 3

The water cycle and the carbon cycle provide water vapor and carbon dioxide, both greenhouse gases. These move naturally in and out of the atmosphere.

Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide which is not removed from the atmosphere by the carbon cycle.

Methane is released from agricultural practices, especially cattle and pig rearing, and from the melting of tundra and frozen lakes. Methane is also a fossil fuel which can leak from mines and coal seam gas extraction.

Answer 4

A:

While allowing solar energy to enter our Biosphere, they then prevent this absorbed heat from leaving.

A:

Actually, it is an excess of Greenhouse Gases which create Global Warming as the world needs natural greenhouse gases so it can have the optimal conditions for plants, animals and us humans to live in.

The primary greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are:

• water vapor
• carbon dioxide (CO2)
• methane
• nitrous oxide
• ozone

Global Warming is caused when additional amounts of greenhouse gasses are added to the atmosphere, for example, carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. This means more of the sun's radiation is trapped within the earth's atmosphere thereby increasing the global temperature.

Answer 5

CO2 Carbon-dioxide is produced by all living animals as part of the metabolism( like burning fat and sucres) and by burning fossil fuels like Methane gas, all sorts of oil and petrol, coal and also by plants(at night)


burning Methane : CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2 H20 (+ energy,heat)


Methane + Oxygen = Carbon-dioxide + Water (+ energy)




So you can see there is also produced water ( twice as much than Carbon-dioxide), which is in my opinion also a greenhouse gas, because it is also a vapor, which will form clouds and raise the total degree of humidity.

Answer 7

Green houses require gas to run. So in doing so they burn it creating gas

Answer 8

We burn oil which creates carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas
