Is ozone a greenhouse gas?
Yes, ozone is a greenhouse gas. Any gas with three or more atoms in their molecule are greenhouse gases.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
How do the greenhouse gases affect the ozone layer?
Ozone is itself a greenhouse gas.Water vapor is a greenhouse gas, and it serves to deplete ozone (water vapor blocks one path of ozone production, and provides an additonal decay path).Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that has no effect on ozone.Any gas with three or more atoms per molecule is a greenhouse gas (like CFCs). For the most part, any of these gases in the atmosphere (with the exception of those listed above) are in too small a quantity to have any significant effect on global temperatures, whatever effect they may eventually have on ozone.Another answerThe burning of fossil fuels, which are ancient plants and animals, compressed and heated, is a large contributor to the greenhouse gases. There is a lot of carbon in the fossil fuels, and when they are burned, the carbon is released. The carbon then creates carbon dioxide, which is what creates a lot of greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases warm our planet, altering ecosystems and life. They also can cause depletion of the ozone layer.
What three characteristics of matter do chemists study?
Solids liquids and gasses
What is the difference between the greenhouse effect and the hole in the ozone?
The greenhouse effect is some moderating gases (greenhouse gases) that allow energetic radiation to pass, but slow the passage of infrared to space. And molecule with three or more atoms is a greenhouse gas.The hole in the ozone is a natural repeating phenomenon. As the hole forms, more infrared is allowed to radiate to space, and the surface below the hole cools more.The greenhouse effect is some moderating gases (greenhouse gases) that allow energetic radiation to pass, but slow the passage of infrared to space.

What are three scientific possible ways climate changes?
Greenhouse gasses, Solar output changes, Orbital change, Volcanic activity, Plate tectonics.
How do gasses create pressure?
how do gasses create pressure? What are the three characteristics of gasses according to the kinetic theory
List three human activites that increase the amount of available nitrogen in the biosphere?
Because nitrogen is produced by nearly all living organisms, there aren't any activities that don't increase nitrogen in the biosphere. Three examples of these human activities are running, swimming, and walking.
What are three ways to heat the earth?
move it closer to the sun increase cloud cover to trap heat and greenhouse gases get rid of ozone layer!
Are gasses matter?
Yes. The three types of matter are solids, liquids, and gasses.
What three gasses in the atmosphere?
The 3 important gasses (there are more) are:-NitrogenOxygenCarbon Dioxide

What happens when you increase the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
the earth gets warmer.homes bordering the beaches, because glaciers and ice caps are melting and increasing sea levels.if global warming does not stop (increase of heat from greenhouse gases) the icebergs will melt causing a flooding of many countries.A: In general, more greenhouse gasses means more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, or to be more precise, heat is trapped for a longer average period of time, meaning that, at any given time, there is more heat present in the atmosphere than there would be with less greenhouse gasses, and therefore temperatures are higher. That's the general case, though, and the devil, as they say, is in the details. You see, the heat in question is actually '''infrared radiation''' emitted from the surface (after being absorbed as visible light, for the most part). Greenhouse gasses do not indiscriminantly absorb heat. Each greenhouse gas absorbs only '''certain wavelengths''' of infrared radiation. For a single, given greenhouse gas, at some level of concentration, the gas is '''already''' absorbing all infrared in the wavelegths it can absorb. At that point, additional quantities of that gas will not absorb any more infrared, because there's none left, at least not in those wavelengths. Also, different gasses can have '''overlapping''' absorption wavelengths. For example, over two of the three major bands of wavelengths in which carbon dioxide absorbs infrared, it must '''compete''' with water vapor (by far the most abundant and important greenhouse gas). When this occurs, even if one gas is not present in large enough quantities to absorb all infrared in certain wavelengths, the two gasses, in combination, could still be absorbing all available infrared in those wavelengths.When the CO2 level increases, the atmosphere gets warmer.If you have an increase of greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere,more heat is retained.
What are three presence of geothermal activity?
gasses
Is ozone a greenhouse gas?
Yes, ozone is a greenhouse gas. Any gas with three or more atoms in their molecule are greenhouse gases.
What are the Dissolved gasses that are in oceans?
The three major gasses dissloved in ocean water are nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
