∙ 13y agoTwo greenhouse gasses are water vapour and carbon dioxide.
You can stop heating water to reduce one and you can stop breathing to reduce the other.

What must be done to carbon dioxide gas to change it to solid?
the cold air can change the carbon dioxide gas to a solid
How does photosynthesis help combat global warming?
during photosynthesis, plants use co2 as one of their reactant and produce oxygen. with less plants/trees, more co2 are being trapped within the atmosphere which makes global warming and influences the climate.
When you burn a fuel what is released that allows work to be done?
Carbon Dioxide is release allowing work to be done.
Are simple sugars broken down into carbon dioxide and water?
That is done via metabolism.
Could we solve the problem of global warming by using solar power to split carbon dioxide into carbon and oxygen?
Only theoretically it is possible, but it is not easily done and will give a very dirty by product carbon monoxide (toxic as w/h/ell) More conveniant is to electrolytically split water into hydrogen and oxygen by solar electrical energy collectors. It does not take away carbon dioxide from atmosphere, neither does splitting it into C and O2.
What have plants done to the atmosphere?
they take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, and in doing so they are reducing the carbon emmisions in the air.
What is the energy that powers the carbon cycle?
The Sun's energy powers it by separating out carbon and oxygen from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is done by plants in a process called photosynthesis, which requires sunlight. The energy can be recovered later when the carbon in the plant tissues is burned with oxygen from the atmosphere, and that produces carbon dioxide and heat.
Can the natural cycle of carbon dioxide emissions increase carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere?
No, the natural cycle of carbon dioxide (CO2) moves through the land, oceans and atmosphere, and has done for millions of years. It is able to remove all the natural carbon in the air (and part of the global warming carbon as well). It is the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity that releases carbon that has been hidden underground for millennia that is increasing the carbon concentrations in the atmosphere.
What is oxygen released into the atmosphere by?
This process is called photosynthesis. It is done by the plants.
How is deforestation responsible for global warming?
Trees and all growing vegetation remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Deforestationmeans destroying the forests of the world, which is what man has done, and is still doing. This means that carbon dioxide is building up in the atmosphere, capturing more and more heat, because there aren't enough trees left to remove the carbon dioxide.
What do trees release into the atmosphere?
Trees take in carbon dioxide, store the carbon in their trunks and branches, and release oxygen into the atmosphere. This process is called photosynthesis and is done by all growing vegetation.
How can greenhouse gases be reversed?
We need to find sources of renewable energy to generate electricity and drive our transport. At present all this is done largely by burning fossil fuels, which releases long-held carbon dioxide into the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We also need to plant forests all over the world, which will absorb carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, release the oxygen and store the carbon.

How is coal converted into other forms of energy?
Coal is normally burned to produce heat. This is done by burning the coal with oxygen from the atmosphere. The process unites carbon and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and the formation of the chemical bonds in this process releases energy as heat. Burning one ton of coal creates about 3 tons of carbon dioxide. The additional mass comes from the oxygen taken from the atmosphere.
What is a gas created by plants?
There are two, oxygen and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is produced by photosythensis, which is done only during the daytime. Carbon dioxide is given off by cellular respiration, which is done all the time. Overall, more oxygen is given off then carbon dioxide.
A gas that you breathe out is a waste gas?
The gas that is being referred to is carbon dioxide which is a waste product of cellular respiration. In the respiratory system carbon dioxide is removed from the body as it is breathed out. This is done by the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and bloodstream. Oxygen is inhaled in enters the bloodstream and is then distributed throughout the body. At the same time carbon dioxide is breathed out which is produced as a waste product of cellular respiration.
