It warms out planet

called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when certain gases, like carbon dioxide, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in temperature. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have intensified the greenhouse effect, contributing to global warming.

What is caused by heat being trapped in the atmosphere by gases like methane and dioxide?
Global Warming
When Heat is trapped in the earth's atmosphere what is the process called?
The Greenhouse Effect.
What is the process in which heat is trapped in the atmosphere by water vapor?
It is called the greenhouse effect.
When a substance is heated where does the energy go?
Some of the heat from the warm earth is trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, where it adds to the warming of the earth. The rest of the heat escapes into space.
What type of radiation is trapped on earth's surface by the greenhouse effect?
terestrial
What is caused by heat being trapped in the atmosphere by gases like methane and dioxide?
Global Warming
What is the name of the effect that causes the warming of the atmosphere because of trapped heat from the sun?
The Greenhouse Effect.
The primary mechanism by which CO2 contributes to global warming is by?
The primary mechanism by which CO2 contributes to global warming is by preventing heat from escaping the atmosphere into space. As more and more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, temperatures increase.
The primary mechanism by which CO2 contributes to global warming is by .?
The primary mechanism by which CO2 contributes to global warming is by preventing heat from escaping the atmosphere into space. As more and more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, temperatures increase.
What is it called when the suns heat is trapped by carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere causing global warming?
greenhouse effect
What is it called when the sun's heat is trapped by carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere causing global warming?
its called dioxmimalenoge.
What would happen if more of the sun's heat became trapped in earth's atmosphere and less heat into space?
More of the sun's heat trapped in the atmosphere would mean the greenhouse gases would become warmer. The earth and the atmosphere would become hotter, and global warming would speed up.
Global warming is happening because?
Earth's atmosphere has a lot of carbon dioxide. When heat from the sun penetrates the atmosphere, the carbon dioxide makes it hard to return back to space. So minimal heat gets reflected. This is what you call the greenhouse effect. The heat gets trapped inside our atmosphere. This is global warming.
What are the interactions between the atmosphere and hydrosphere?
When water (hydrosphere) evaporates it rises into the air (atmosphere)
How is the atmosphere of the earth similar to being covered by a blanket at night?
Heat is trapped in the atmosphere (the greenhouse effect) and this keeps us warm. So does a blanket.
What is global warmig?
Global warming is when heat gets trapped in the atmosphere, so it makes it warm on Earth. When the Green house effect occurs too much, or too often
How do you get heat from the sun?
The sun's heat is radiated to the earth which enters the atmosphere. This heat warms up the surface but is then reflected back into space. But, as the atmosphere's amount of greenhouse gases is increasing, less heat is escaping from the earth's surface and is getting trapped. This results in what we call 'global warming' as the earth's temperature heats up.
