Where can you find natural gas?
Natural gas is found in fossil fuels, in coal beds, as methane clathrates, and is created by methanogenic organisms in marshes, bogs, and landfills. It is an important fuel source, a major feedstock for fertilizers, and a potent greenhouse gas.
Does natural gas cause greenhouse gas?
Yes. Natural gas is mostly methane, which is a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide. Burning natural gas produces carbon dioxide, though not as much as oil or coal.
What potent greenhouse gas is trapped in large quantities in the permafrost of the tundra?
Unfortunately, this potent greenhouse gas - METHANE - is no longer Trapped!
Can you make a sentence using the word potent?
There is an explosive greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
What gas is the biggest greenhouse gas?
Depends on your understanding of the term "biggest":The largest volume of naturally occurring greenhouse gas is water vapour.The largest volume or tonnage of manmade greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide.The most potent is Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) which has a greenhouse gas impact 23,900 times that of carbon dioxide.
What is a compound for SF6?
That would be sulfur hexafluoride. It is a very useful gas, but it's also the most potent greenhouse gas there is.
Is methane producing bacteria beneficial to humans?
Yes, Methane acts as the only source of carbon and energy for the bacteria Methanotrophs (methanophiles). Methane is a potential greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide. Methanotrophs play a major role in the reduction of the release of methane into the atmosphere from environments such as rice paddies, landfills, bogs and swamps where methane production is relatively high.
What problems does methane cause?
methane is a greenhouse gas which is 23 times more potent then carbon dioxide . so this may contribute to global warnimg
What important greenhouse gases does exhaled air contain?
Humans and all other animals exhale carbon dioxide, as part of the natural cycle, in which plants absorb the carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. As long as we have enough plants in the form of trees, algae and other vegetaion, this cycle is sustainable with no increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases. Cows and sheep also exhale methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas that is not absorbed by plants. This has been blamed as a significant contributor to global warming.
Does natural gas produce greenhouse gases?
No, renewable energy produces no polluting carbon dioxide (CO2) or any other gas. This is why it is preferred over fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the burning of which in industry, transport and the generation of electricity is causing global warming.
What are the gasses in the greenhouse gas?
Water vapor is by far the most abundant, but also the weakest. Carbon dioxide is the next most abundant, but also relatively weak. Methane is quite potent, and after that are halocarbons among others, which are extremely potent but not at all abundant.
What energy refers to energy sources that release very small amounts of greenhouse gases?
Renewable energy. (Our manufacture [and consumption] of flat-screen TVs needs an extremely potent GreenHouse Gas! - only a mere 98.8 percent of it is recovered.)
