What do you call gases that retain heat within the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases.
What are gases that absorb thermal energy in the atmosphere called?
Greenhouse gases.
What is th process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and rediandiate heat?
greenhouse effect
What does an increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere mean?
It means there is more greenhouse gases in the air. Greenhouse gases absorb and hold the sun's heat. So an increase means that the atmosphere gets warmer, globally (global warming).
What does the greenhouse effect have to do with deforestation?
The greenhouse effect is simply the atmosphere's ability to retain heat. This is caused by gases, which we call greenhouse gases. These gases trap heat, rather like greenhouses trap heat to help grow plants in cold climates.
What do you call gases that retain heat within the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases.
What are gases that absorb thermal energy in the atmosphere called?
Greenhouse gases.
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb?
Heat rising from the surface of the earth.
How would greenhouse gases retain energy in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse Gases (water, carbon dioxide, methane, SF6 etc.) are made up of at least two molecules. The bond size between the atoms in the molecules is such that it can absorb heat more easily than other molecules. When solar energy comes to the atmosphere they absorb the solar energy as heat then radiate it to other atmospheric (non-greenhouse) gases such as nitrogen and oxygen..
What is caused by gases in the atmosphere that absorb radiation and transfer heat?
greenhouse effect
What occurs when gases in the atmosphere absorb heat from the surface of the earth?
The greenhouse effect!
What is th process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and rediandiate heat?
greenhouse effect
The is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
This would be called the greenhouse effect
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
What are the gasses?
Greenhouse gasses are gases in the atmosphere that absorb, and that emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
What do greenhouse gases contain?
The earth's atmosphere contains trace gases, some of which absorb heat. These gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide) are referred to as greenhouse gases.
