What is the primary cause of destruction to the ozone?
The primary cause of destruction of ozone layer is CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.
Why is it incorrect to say that greenhouse gases cause global warming?
It is not incorrect, Greenhouse gases are Methane and Carbon Dioxide and their increasing presence in Earth's atmosphere is causing the temperature of the atmosphere to rize (warm).
Does earth radiating mostly infrared light cause the greenhouse effect?
Yes. The infrared radiation from the surface of the earth is captured by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This causes the greenhouse effect.
What gases cause global warming and how?
Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What gas would cause the most greenhouse warming of earth's atmosphere?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
An increase in what gas would cause the most greenhouse warming of the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
An increase in which gas would cause the most greenhouse warming of Earth's atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide
How our atmosphere cause the greenhouse effect?
The contributing factor here is global warming, that's the real issue
How does the greenhouse effect earth?
the greenhouse effect influences the earth by cause global warming. The reason why is because the greenhouse effect, traps heat in our atmosphere, causing the earth to heat more than usual.
What is the cause effect and solution of the greenhouse effect?
Normal greenhouse effect:The cause of the normal greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that capture the sun's heat as it radiates back out from the earth.The effect of the normal greenhouse effect is to keep the earth warm enough for life.We do not need a solution for the normal greenhouse effect because it is not a problem for us.Enhanced greenhouse effect:The cause of the enhanced greenhouse effect is the extra greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide and methane, that we have been adding to the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, mostly by burning coal, oil and natural gas. Deforestation means that less carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.The effect of the enhanced greenhouse effect is to make the atmosphere warmer, all over the world - global warming.The solution for the enhanced greenhouse effect is for the whole world to use renewable energy sources for industry, transport and electricity, so we can stop burning fossil fuels. If the world plants more forests the trees will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. If we improve our agricultural practices we can reduce the amount of methane put into the atmosphere.
How does atomospheric composition affect air temperature?
While the specifics of this are controversial, the generally held beliefs are that greenhouse gases cause air temperature to rise. The primary greenhouse gases in earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. For an extreme view of how greenhouse gases can affect temperature, do some research on Venus where greenhouse gases and the proximity to the sun have turned the planet into a furnace
Why could an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause global temperatures to rise?
more heat can be trapped in the atmosphere...
