Why is dioxide important to life?
Carbon dioxide acts as a greenhouse gas and retains heat radiation from the sun, which, combined with other greenhouse gases helps to maintain the earths surface temperature. Without the presence of CO2 in the atmosphere, most of the solar radiation would not be retained and thus the surface temperature would be very low and unable to sustain human life.
What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?
the greenhouse
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
Have humans affected the earths Greenhouse Effect?
yes, by releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and sulphur dioxide througe the burning of fossil fuels
What greenhouse gas produced by humans activities has dramatically increased in earths atmosphere?
CO2; Carbon Dioxide
When carbon dioxide traps heat in the earths atmosphere?
This is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and trap heat from the sun, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface. This phenomenon is essential for maintaining Earth's temperature but human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have increased the concentration of these gases and intensified the greenhouse effect, causing global warming.
What absorbs the energy that is radiated from earths surface?
Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor absorb the energy radiated from Earth's surface. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and warming the planet.
What absorbs heat leaving the earths surface?
Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, absorb infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface, trapping heat and contributing to the greenhouse effect. This process helps to keep Earth's surface warmer than it would be otherwise.
What phenomenon naturallt warms earths lower atmosphere and surface?
The greenhouse effect is the natural phenomenon that warms Earth's lower atmosphere and surface. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor trap heat from the sun, causing the temperature to rise. This process is essential for supporting life on Earth, but human activities have enhanced the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.
What are the componets of natural gas?
the earths surface is bound connect with the atmosphere that represents the greenhouse effect.
What is the name of the theory that states greenhouse gases are causing the earths surface temperature to get warmer?
The theory that states greenhouse gases are causing the Earth's surface temperature to rise is known as the greenhouse effect. This phenomenon occurs when gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor trap heat in the atmosphere, preventing it from escaping into space. As a result, this leads to an increase in global temperatures, contributing to climate change.
What natural warming of both earth lower atmosphere and the earths surface is the blank effect?
greenhouse effect
