What would happen to the global climate if there were a dramatic decrease in greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere?
A dramatic decrease in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere would lead to a reduction in the greenhouse effect, resulting in a cooler global climate. This could potentially slow down or reverse some of the current impacts of climate change such as global warming, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events. However, it is important to note that other factors also influence global climate, so the impact would not be immediate or completely predictable.
How does the composition of gases change as you travel up the atmosphere?
As the gases go higher in the atmosphere they start to compose or join together at some point which causes them to change since there is mixture of more than one gas, sometimes they form a different element when certain gases form
How can humans start a tornado?
Humans cannot start tornadoes.
What planet has a deep massive atmosphere?
Many planets have an atmosphere that is poisonous, at least for us. All the gas giants, for a start. Mercury has almost no atmosphere. This would not exactly be poisonous, but it isn't exactly health, either... You would still need to keep your spacesuit on, if you venture outside the ship. Venus is also toxic for us - and, it is extremely hot. Mars' atmosphere isn't fit for humans, either.
Does Mars have a atmospher?
Yes, Mars does have an atmosphere, although it is much thinner than Earth's. The Martian atmosphere is composed mostly of carbon dioxide, with traces of nitrogen and argon. The low atmospheric pressure on Mars makes it impossible for liquid water to exist on the surface, and the thin atmosphere also provides little protection from harmful solar radiation.
When did the Greenhouse effect start?
The greenhouse effect has been a natural phenomenon on Earth for millions of years. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have significantly increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, intensifying the greenhouse effect and leading to global warming.
How does the greenhouse effect happens?
The Greenhouse effect happens when the sun's radiation gets trapped in Earth's atmosphere. The gases rise up and sink back and forth causing, what we call, Global Warming.A:The greenhouse effect happens due to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere such as H2O and CO2. they start trapping more infrared radiations than average which leads to the increase in earth's temperature. The natural greenhouse effect is beneficial to the planet. The enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by additional greenhouse gases and that is what is causing global warming.
How are the gases constantly changing in the atmosphere?
When did people start to change the atmosphere by releasing gases
At which period in history did mankind start to add lots of greehouse gases to the atmosphere?
The Industrial Revolution, starting in the late 18th century, marked the period when mankind began adding significant amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels for energy and industrial activities.
How many greenhouse gases are released in a rocket launch?
This is an interesting question that gets deeper then you may wish to go. A shuttle launch will release water vapor, which is a greenhouse gas. It is the most common of greenhouse gases. Water vapor is ignored though in terms of man contribution to greenhouse gas because it dissipates quickly and mans contribution to this gas is insignificant. The water vapor produced in a launch remains in the atmosphere for a few hours. Much of the raw material used to create this water vapor also comes from the atmosphere to start with. Man produces almost 0.3% of all greenhouse gases, virtually none of this amount though is from the space program.
What is deforestation and what role does it play in increase of greenhouse gases?
Deforestation is when a lot of trees are cut down and forests start to disappear. Wood scraps on the forest floor rot and release carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane. With fewer trees in the world they can't remove the CO2 from the atmosphere. So, with fewer trees there is more CO2 in the air and the greenhouse effect is worse.
What can cause a sudden change in climate?
People start burning fossil fuel. This releases greenhouse gases that build up in the atmosphere. This traps more heat and causes global warming. The warming adds extra energy into the atmosphere causing climate change.

Are greehouse gasses good or bad?
Yes and no. We need greenhouse gases in our atmosphere to keep the earth warm enough for human life. So the right level of greenhouse gas is good. Too much greenhouse gases are bad for us. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluoridated gases are the gases which trap sunlight and heat from the surface of the earth and so they are used by the greenhouse effect to heat the atmosphere. This leads to overheating in the atmosphere which in turn leads to global warming.
Describe briefly the theory behind man-caused global warming?
Essentially, ask any climatologist and they will tell you that man's excessive waste and pollution is spewing millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. Definition of a greenhouse gases, according to wiki, are "gases in an atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range." Basically, they absorb heat. H2O also counts as a greenhouse gas, apparently.The average temperature of the Earth's surface, is 15 degrees Celsius. The sun, on average, provides enough warmth to heat up the Earth's surface to 30 degrees Celsius. But nearly half of that heat is bounced back up into space. Greenhouse gases absorb the heat, and release some of it back onto Earth, increasing the surface temperature. There have always been greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, but with the start of the industrial period (1750s), the amount of it in our atmosphere has increased proportionally.Most common greenhouse gases: Water vapour, CO2, Nitrous oxide, ozone and methane (about a third of which is released from the belch of a cow).To sum up:Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2) that has been stored away underground for millions of years. This adds extra CO2 that the normal carbon cycle can't move out of the atmosphere.Deforestation has removed millions of trees all over the world that used to absorb and store carbon.All this means that the atmosphere is overloaded with greenhouse gases which are warming the earth. This global warming is causing climate change.
How do greenhouse gases cause temperature to rise?
By capturing heat and trapping heat Air pollution (greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane) traps heat in the atmosphere increasing temperature and causing extreme storms. greenhouse gases trap heat.
When did greenhouse gas start?
Greenhouse gases started millions of years ago, before life began on earth. They keep the planet warm enough for life, through the natural carbon and water cycles of the planet. Man began producing greenhouse gases about 260 years ago, at the start of the Industrial Revolution, when we dug up and burned coal and oil for industry, transport, and later, for the generation of electricity. These fossil fuels are releasing extra greenhouse gas which is now overwhelming the natural carbon cycle.
