When did the Greenhouse effect start?
The Greenhouse effect started long before humans were on Earth. The Greenhouse effect is only intensified by the presence of humans.
What is another name for enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".
Is the greenhouse effect caused solely by humans?
No, there is a natural greenhouse effect which has kept the earth warm for millions of years. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, humans are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
What is the key greenhouse gas?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the key greenhouse gasresponsible for the accelerated greenhouse effect, added by humans burning fossil fuels. CO2 is having the largest effect on the recent increases in global temperature.The most common greenhouse gas for the natural greenhouse effect is water vapour. Man has no control over its levels. When it gets too high, it falls as rain.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
Have humans affected the earths Greenhouse Effect?
yes, by releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and sulphur dioxide througe the burning of fossil fuels
What is the enhanced greenhouse effect and who caused it?
The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect, is the increased heat in the atmosphere. It is caused largely by humans burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. Both these activities Lead to more carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere.
Does the greenhouse effect result from human activity?
Yes. Humans have been burning fossil fuels since the beginning of the Industrial Age (1750s). This releases long-held carbon dioxide that has been sequestered away for 300 thousand years. This extra greenhouse gas is changing the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect, which is getting warmer and warmer.
What is the negative effect humans have on the stability of the environment is most directly linked to an increase in?
Pollution and greenhouse gases.
The negative effect humans have on the stability of the environment is most directly linked to an increase in what?
