Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?

greenhouse effect


If the present greenhouse effect trend continues into the year 2100 earths annual average temperature could?

Due to the Greenhouse Effect, Earth's temperature is continually rising. If the trend does not change, the Earth's annual temperature will continue to rise, causing significant ecological problems.


How does the increase in carbon dioxide emissions affect the earths natural cycle of temperature cycle?

It raises the temperature and makes it hotter through the greenhouse effect.


If the greenhouse effect went out of control what would you have?

You could have a runaway greenhouse effect, where positive feedbacks increase so rapidly that the temperature rises too fast and too high to control. Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, and the oceans have boiled dry and the ground temperature is about 464 °C (867°F).


What is the temperature of it atmosphere is increased by the greenhouse effect?

Both Earth and Venus have increase temperature due to a greenhouse effect. Venus has a much stronger greenhouse effect than Earth does.


What controls the climate and protects the Earth from harmful sun?

The atmosphere. The ozone layer absorbs UV radiation, and atmosphere also controls temperature through the greenhouse effect, which allows the earth's temperature to be suitable for life. If there was no greenhouse effect then the earths average temperature would be -14oC instead of the actual 15oC.

Are climate and weather short term changes in earths greenhouse effect?

Weather is a short term change to the climate, but not to the greenhouse effect. Climate is a long term change to the weather (but not to the greenhouse effect).
