What occurs when gases in the atmosphere absorb heat from the surface of the earth?
The greenhouse effect!
Which of the Major gases traps heat?
Heat trapping gases absorb infrared radiation. Three of the major gases that trap heat are carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane.
What are green house gases or atmospheric gases?
Atmospheric gases trap heat so that Earth is not a frozen wasteland. Greenhouse gases is the term used to refer to heat-trapping gases such as carbon dioxide and methane because these gaseous components of the atmosphere make Earth function like a greenhouse-heat from the Sun that is reflected off the Earth is reflected back up to the atmosphere and the greenhouse gases trap some of this heat. Understand that greenhouse gases are necessary to retain some of the Sun's heat, but they are bad in excess; to much carbon dioxide( a greenhouse gas) contributes to global warming-too much heat from the Sun is trapped by the atmosphere so that temperatures on the surface rise.
What is the name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
The name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming is Greenhouse gases.
What name is given to gases which trap heat from the sun?
They are generally called Greenhouses gases, as greenhouses trap heat into the glass.
This occurs when gases heat up?
expantion
What occurs when liquids change to gases as heat is added?
evaporation
What occurs when gases in the atmosphere absorb heat from the surface of the earth?
The greenhouse effect!
Heat convection occurs in gases and liquids Heat convection does not occur in solids because solids are unable to?
transfer heat by fluid motion
Can you heat up hot chocolate or heat boiling water with abdominal gas?
yes though the gases in you stomach are mainly for digestion they also heat things up as any external gases.
What do gases in a light bulb do?
heat up and glow
What type of heat transfer occurs only in fluids?
Heat transfer by Brownian motion takes place only in fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas).
How do particles heat up?
Whenever direct heat is given to any kind of particles/materials, an exothermic reaction occurs. When an exothermic reaction occurs, heat is released. This is what causes the particles to heat up.
What is the geenhousee effect?
its when greenhouse gases build up and these gases traps the sun's heat, resulting in global warming
How are green house gases made?
Gases are made when you heat up solids or liquids. Liquids are made when you cool down gases or heat up solids. Solids are made when you cool down gases or solids. When you heat up solids they make liquids and when you heat up liquids it makes gases. When you heat up gases it makes plasma (plas-mu) but that is very very very very very very hard to make.
What when gases lose heat?
When gases lose heat they condensate into liquids.
If air is a bad conducter of heat then why do global warming occurs?
because water vapor, carbon dioxide, & other greenhouse gases are good insulators of heat that radiates off the earth.
