When did the enhanced greenhouse effect occur?
When we began to seriously burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) we released billions of tones of EXTRA carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This changed the natural greenhouse effect to an enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect.
Is pollution a part of the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels are referred to as pollution because of the powerful effect they have in causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which is responsible for global warming.
What is the enhanced greenhouse effect and who caused it?
The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect, is the increased heat in the atmosphere. It is caused largely by humans burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. Both these activities Lead to more carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere.
What increases the temperature around the planet?
The enhanced greenhouse effect,which is caused by extra amounts of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide,which is caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
What is the difference between the Greenhouse Effect and fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that can be burned to get energy. The Greenhouse Effect is, in part, the result of burning fossil fuels. In this example, fossil fuels would be a causative agent that creates an effect on the environment, specifically, the Earth's atmosphere.
did the greenhouse effect increase?
Yes. When we started burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and cutting down the great forests of the worldd (deforestation), the normal greenhouse effect began to change into the accelerated, or enhanced greenhouse effect which we now have.
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 relationship between fossil fuels and the greenhouse effect Burning fossil fuels?
Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change. Reducing the use of fossil fuels is crucial in mitigating the impact of climate change.
Which single gas has the greatest impact globally on the enhanced greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) has the greatest impact globally on the enhanced greenhouse effect. It is the most prevalent greenhouse gas emitted through human activities such as burning fossil fuels. CO2 is a major contributor to global warming and climate change.
What are the two types of greenhouse?
The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation) leads to global warming and climate change.(There is also the very dangerous runaway greenhouse effect that happened on Venus.)
What is the link between the greenhouse effect and industrialization?
The Industrial Revolution, when we first seriously began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), marks the beginning of the enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect.The normal greenhouse effect has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years. The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming and climate change.
How does burning fossil fuels affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which increases the concentration of this greenhouse gas. This leads to an enhanced greenhouse effect, trapping heat in the atmosphere and contributing to global warming and climate change.
