What are some non-examples of the greenhouse effect?
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
What destroys greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Nothing. Trees remove Carbon dioxide (CO2), but nothing destroys it.
What is deforestation and what role does it play in increase of greenhouse gases?
Deforestation is when a lot of trees are cut down and forests start to disappear. Wood scraps on the forest floor rot and release carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane. With fewer trees in the world they can't remove the CO2 from the atmosphere. So, with fewer trees there is more CO2 in the air and the greenhouse effect is worse.
How is deforestation adding to the greenhouse effect?
Trees remove carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their trunks and branches. When deforestation happens and the trees are burnt or rot, that carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere, and because no more trees are planted, there is no longer anything to remove the CO2. This is how deforestation adds to the greenhouse effect.
What effect would over-logging of trees have on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Over-logging of trees means that they can no longer remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This has actually happened and levels of carbon dioxide are building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.

What are the effects of combustion and deforestation and how do they relate to the greenhouse effect?
Combustion (burning) of any material usually releases carbon dioxide, as carbon is such a major component of everything on earth. Deforestation (removal of trees) means that the trees are no longer able to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases retaining warmth from the sun. Any increase of greenhouse gases (as carbon dioxide is) leads to a warming in the atmosphere.
Does planting trees decrease greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Yes. Growing trees and vegetation is the only serious way to remove the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
How does clearing the forests effect the level of gases in the air?
there are trees in the forest and trees help us breath
How might tree planting programs help keep the greenhouse effect from becoming a problem?
Trees and plants absorb harmful gases from our atmosphere and convert them into clean Oxygen or O2. If we plant more trees, they can absorb more of the gases us humans are emitting, preventing global warming and climate change.
How can you reduce the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Afforestation. The only way is to plant more trees.
What destroys greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Nothing. Trees remove Carbon dioxide (CO2), but nothing destroys it.
What qualities must the atmosphere have so that flowers and trees will grow?
Flowers and trees need the gases oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen in order to grow.
How is green house gases increased in atmosphere?
carbon- dioxide is a green house gas which when increased in the atmosphere causes global warming. it is released in the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels i.e. petrol, diesel, coal. trees use carbon dioxide and release oxygen so we should plant more trees to reduce green house gases in the atmosphere. hope that helps....
How can cutting down trees left over debris effect the atmosphere?
it dosnt but ya mam does
What effect does cutting down trees have on the world?
cutting down trees lowers the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere and makes soil errosion slower
Does deforestoration increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes, deforestation removes trees that act as a carbon sink, removing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This increases the greenhouse effect.
