What are the effects of combustion and deforestation and how do they relate to the greenhouse effect?
Combustion (burning) of any material usually releases carbon dioxide, as carbon is such a major component of everything on earth. Deforestation (removal of trees) means that the trees are no longer able to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases retaining warmth from the sun. Any increase of greenhouse gases (as carbon dioxide is) leads to a warming in the atmosphere.

What effects does deforestation have on the climate?
Deforestation is a contributor to global warming, and is often cited as one of the major causes of the enhanced greenhouse effect. Tropical deforestation is responsible for approximately 20% of world greenhouse gas emissions
Which product of combustion contributes most to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary product of combustion that contributes the most to the greenhouse effect. It is a major greenhouse gas, trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere and leading to global warming. Other combustion byproducts, such as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), also contribute to the greenhouse effect, but CO2 is the most significant.
What is the atmosphere effects?
The Greenhouse Effect.
What are effects that atmospheres have on planets?
greenhouse effect
Which statement describes one effect of deforestation?
One of the effects of deforestation is increased global warming.
Does deforestoration increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes, deforestation increases the greenhouse effect because trees absorb carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) from the atmosphere. When trees are cut down or burned, this stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change.
What effects can deforeststation have on the climate?
Primarily, deforestation release carbon into the atmosphere that becomes carbon dioxide. This is a greenhouse gas, and adding more of it to the atmosphere will tend to enhance the natural greenhouse effect. As a result, deforestation tends to contribute to the warming of the earth.
Is venus expiriences an intense greenhouse effects?
yes Venus experiences the greenhouse effect
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.
How is deforestation adding to the greenhouse effect?
Trees remove carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their trunks and branches. When deforestation happens and the trees are burnt or rot, that carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere, and because no more trees are planted, there is no longer anything to remove the CO2. This is how deforestation adds to the greenhouse effect.
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.)
Which gas is produced as a waste product by combustion and by respiration and is also a 'greenhouse gas'?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas produced as a waste product by combustion and respiration. It is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
