Is the fallowing sentence true or false the greenhouse effect is a natural process?
The greenhouse gases present in the earths atmosphere are both naturally produced and man made. The natural greenhouse gases (methane, water vapour, carbon dioxide) make the Earth warmer than it would be without the Greenhouse effect (this allows it to be habitable). The addition of man made greenhouse gases (methane, carbon dioxide and a few others) increases the temperature past the natural levels. SO the greenhouse effect is both natural and a result of human activities. If you consider the opposite of a "natural effect" to be a "supernatural effect" resulting from gods, devils or ghosts -the greenhouse effect is natural with no supernatural contribution.
What is an example of greenhouse gas?
Methane.
Are greenhouse gases and natural gases ultimately the same?
A1. Natural gas is methane, CH4. It is a greenhouse gas, but far from the only one. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is the one that we are most concerned about.A2. But man made gases such as sulfur dioxide, and the fluorocarbons, (and more) also play their parts.
Is global climate change man-made?
Yes it is. It's a by-product of burning fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases, including Carbon Dioxide. It is also a side effect of deforestation and intensive livestock farming, which releases methane. In effect, our presence has resulted in a change in balance between the removal of greenhouse gases from the atmospehere and the production of greenhouse gases.
Which part of the earth acts like the glass in a greenhouse and traps heat in?
the reason is that certain gases, dubbed greenhouse gases by us scientists have the ability to trap heat radiation from the suns rays in our atmosphere, heat that would normally dissipate into the vacuum of space. those gases include methane and carbon dioxide. when in suitable amounts those gases are actually beneficial to life on earth as without them the earth would be far too cold to support any interesting life. unfortunately human activities are releasing huge amounts of said greenhouse gases into the air, meaning that more heat rays are trapped and hey presto, the world heats up
What is a greenhouse gas that exclusively anthropogenic?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are greenhouse gases that are entirely made by human endeavors. All other greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane CH4, etc occur in nature as well as being produced by man.
What are anthropogenic greenhouse gases?
Anthropogenic means made by humans, so the greenhouse gases caused by man are mostly carbon dioxide and some methane, and some CFCs.

What are some green houes gases?
Carbon dioxide and methane are naturally occurring greenhouse gases, but are also man made. CFCs previously used as propellants for aerosol and as refrigerants were really damaging greenhouse gases. These have since been replaced.

What 2 greenhouse gases are scientists more concerned with?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Methane. "Methane is considered the No. 2 greenhouse gas based on the amount of warming it causes and the amount in the atmosphere. The total effect of methane on global warming is about one-third that of man-made carbon dioxide." (source: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27400533/)
Does greenhouse gases create an atmosphere?
No, greenhouse gases are part of the atmosphere, which is made up of 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases including methane. Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1%.
How is the greenhouse harmful to our planet?
At present man-made greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, are adding to the greenhouse effect. The natural carbon cycle is unable to cope with the extra CO2 which remains in the atmosphere gathering heat, and causing global warming.

What is a fart made up from?
A fart is only the release of gases produced during the digestion process.
