What would happen to the temperature of the atmosphere if carbon dioxide increased due to human activity?
It will rise. The temperature of the atmosphere is rising already because carbon dioxide is increasing due to human activity.
Does sulfur dioxide increase or decrease the temperature of the atmosphere?
sulfur dioxide decreases temperature because it is a heavy gas
How can a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase Earth's global temperature?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
How does the earth temperature drops?
1) oceans absorb carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere, thereby bringing down the temperature 2) oceans emit heat from the sunlight they absorb and increase the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere.
When carbon dioxide levels increase in the atmosphere what happens to global temperatures?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
What is the relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide and global temperature?
Increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is considered a factor that increase the global warming.
What is a rise in the earth's surface temperature due to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
It is called the Greenhouse effect.
What is an increase in Earths average temperature due to the buildup of carbon dioxide and other gases in Earth's atmosphere?
global warming
How does the high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect Our environment?
For one, it contributes to Ocean acidification.
What is one possible cause of the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since the mid 19th century?
The answer is human activity! The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere) are the main causes of the increase.
What do scientists say is the cause of the increase in temperature throughout the 20th century?
Human industrial activity, cement manufacture, and transport, releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere in large amounts. Deforestation is also an important cause.
What has Climate change got to do with supplying energy?
If energy is obtained from fossil fuels (by burning petroleum (oil), or carbon), then that will increase the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is generally believed to increase the average temperature on Earth.
