What greenhouse effect is?
gases in the atmosphere trap the heat from the sun
What is the effect of higher levels of greenhouse gases?
More greenhouse gases trap more heat in the atmosphere, causing a global warming and climate change.
What is the ability of the Earths atmosphere to trap heat and keep us warm?
The greenhouse effect (greenhouse gases capture heat radiating up from the earth).
What do greenhouses gases trap?
Greenhouse gases trap infrared heat (from the sun) rising from the surface of the earth. More greenhouse gases trap more heat, and this is the situation now. Increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in particular are trapping more heat and causing a global warming.
Do greenhouse gases trap heat near the earth's surface?
Yes, greenhouse gases trap heat in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the earth's atmosphere.
The process by which gases hold heat in the atmosphere is called the what?
The Greenhouse Effect. It happens when Greenhouse Gases (CO2) thicken the atmosphere and trap heat.
What is the process in which gases trap heat in the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect
What greenhouse effect is?
gases in the atmosphere trap the heat from the sun
What name is given to gases which trap heat from the sun?
They are generally called Greenhouses gases, as greenhouses trap heat into the glass.
The effect is the process by which gases in the atmosphere trap heat?
The greenhouse effect
What process causes gases in the atmosphere to trap heat the surface of earth?
greenhouse effect
Heat that is lost to space from the earth occurs by?
Some atmospheric gases trap infrared heat radiated by the Earth. They are called greenhouse gases and the process is called the greenhouse effect. Among the gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.
What air traps heat and causes the greenhouse effect?
Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, CFC's, and water vapor trap trap the heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
What is the effect of higher levels of greenhouse gases?
More greenhouse gases trap more heat in the atmosphere, causing a global warming and climate change.
What is the name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
The name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming is Greenhouse gases.
Why do nitrogen and oxygen do not cause the greenhouse effect?
Nitrogen and oxygen are not greenhouse gases. They are unable to trap and store heat. 3-atom gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane store this heat and cause the greenhouse effect.
The heat trapping ability of some gases in the atmosphere can be compared to?
The heat trapping ability of some gases in the atmosphere can be compared to a glass greenhouse's ability to trap heat. Thus, the term "greenhouse effect" was created.
