What are the 4 main green house gases?
The four main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases (such as hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride).
What is the rise in temperature due to an increase in carbon dioxide called?
The increase in temperature due to elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat from the Sun, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface.
Which one of these gases keeps the earth warm oxygen helium hydrogen carbon dioxide nitrogen or argon?
Carbon dioxide is the gas that helps keep the Earth warm through the greenhouse effect. It allows sunlight to enter the atmosphere but traps heat that is radiated back from the Earth's surface, thus contributing to the planet's overall temperature.
What are some green houes gases?
Carbon dioxide and methane are naturally occurring greenhouse gases, but are also man made. CFCs previously used as propellants for aerosol and as refrigerants were really damaging greenhouse gases. These have since been replaced.
What are methane and carbon dioxide?
Both methane and carbon dioxide are green house gases (GHGs) that contribute to global climate change. Methane is a simple alkane with the chemical formula CH4 (one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen). Carbon dioxide has the chemical formula CO2 (cone atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen). Both methane and carbon dioxide are gases, and each has both biological and non-biological sources in nature.
What causes the green house to effect?
Green house gases, such as carbon dioxide.
Is c02 in green house gases?
Yeah, it's carbon dioxide
Are green house gases dangerous?
yes, green house gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and others are causes of global warming.
Which is the minor green house gas in the stratosphere?
There are various minor greenhouse gases. These are nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide etc.
What gases will be taken in and given out by a green plant in darkness?
Carbon dioxide is taken in. Oxygen is given out
What are the problems with Carbon dioxide?
Due to large-scale burning of fossil fuels worldwide, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the athmosphere continues to increase. This enhances the natural 'greenhouse effect' of the athmosphere, causing global warming and climate change.
What do plants do to lessen the green house gases?
Plants absorb water and carbon dioxide. These two green house gases are the most common. Plants absorb only a small portion of the total green house gas. The oceans do the bulk of this work. Plants do store carbon and our a major carbon sink for the planet.
Are green house gases more or less than carbon dioxide?
Carbon Dioxide IS a 'greenhouse gas' ! There are still too many coal-fired power stations that are releasing tons of CO2 into the atmosphere !
What does carbion dioxide have to play in the green house?
The plants need the Carbon Dioxide to inhale. They then turn the carbon dioxide into oxygen for us to breathe. That is what carbon dioxide does in the green house.
What is some gases?
Co2 CH4 tetrachlorofluro carbon CFCs (sulfur hexafluoride, HFCs, and PFCs) nitrous oxide Water Vapor is still the primary greenhouse gas making up over 75% of the greenhouse effect.
What do people breathe into the air?
People ( Humans) exhale nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases. The nitrogen and other gases remain unreacted. from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the result of breathing in (inhaling) oxygen travelling around the body in the blood stream, being used at the muscles etc., thereby being converted to carbon dioxide, which is carried in the blood stream to be exhaled. The carbon dioxide, being a heavy gas, falls to earth, is breathed in by green plant life, undergoes photosynthesis, and oxygen is released. The carbon compoent remains in the plant as biomass. The two gases , oxygen and carbon dioxide, are part of the oxygen/carbon cycle.
What are the 4 main green house gases?
