No. They are mostly methane, with a little regular air, and water vapor. Methane, of course, is also a greenhouse gas, as is carbon dioxide.

What effect do cows and other livestock have on global warming?

Cows have little affect on the atmosphere compared to human activity. The carbon dioxide and methane emissions produced by cattle thriough belching and flatulence are considered insignificant compared to the amount produced by humans.


How does natural gas and oil affect water positively?

They only affect water in a negative way. CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O For methane there are two molecules of water produced for every molecule of carbon dioxide. Methane affects water since methane attracts microbes that consumes Oxygen. So the methane and microbe level rise and can create a situation where there is so little oxygen that hardly anything can survive.

What kind of gases are in the atmosphere of Pluto?

The main gas in Plutoâ??s atmosphere is Nitrogen. Other gases found in Plutoâ??s atmosphere are carbon monoxide and methane. The atmosphere is directly affected by the planetâ??s temperature. Pluto is so far from the sun that it is covered and ice and just on the cusp of being in capable of maintaining an atmosphere.


Which greenhouse gases are released from trash in landfills the animals we raise for food and burning coal?

Landfills release carbon dioxide from aerobic rotting organic matter, and methane if the rotting is anaerobic (without oxygen).Animals we raise for food (mostly cattle) release methane, mostly by burping, but a little by farting.Burning coal releases carbon dioxide.


How carbon monoxide is formed?

Carbon monoxide is produced when you are trying to produce Carbon dioxide but have too little Oxygen. Basically (Quite an un-scientific explanation) burning with too little air or oxygen. The formation also has to do with a double covalent bond.


What gas causes bread dough to rise?

The gas produced by baking bread is called Ozone. It is a poisonous gas, if a lot is inhaled, but the little bit made when bread is baked is not harmful.


Why is it important to make sure gas fires have enough oxygen to burn completely?

If there's not enough oxygen, the methane cannot burn properly. When this happens, some of the carbon combines with a little oxygen to form carbon monoxide. Some carbon will not react with oxygen at all, and forms of carbon powder, often called soot.
