green house gases trap the heat from the sun rays and keep the planet warm. they are named so as the effect they produce is similar to the conditions in a greenhouse- they let the short wave energy of the sun enter almost unhindered but do not allow all of the earth's reflected back energy, which is long wave, to go back, thus producing a heating effect.

Thats it man, now go memorise it or write it or recite it or well... just do anything.

What are some causes for climatic change?

Some causes for climate change would be mostly due to human activity. After cars and factories were made this has caused lots of pollution. many green house gases have been let out into our atmosphere. green house gases are gases that get trapped in earth's atmosphere that help maintain earth's temperature. Although if there are too much green house gases in our atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, earth's temperature will begin to rise. this process is called global warming.

Why are green house gases causing a problem?

Green House gases work by allowing the Sun's rays into the atmosphere, but don't let them back out. Green-house gases are gases like CO2, Methane and other traces of elements. A small amount is necessary to control the warmth of the overall planet, but if we get to much green-house gas, the planet could begin to warm, which it is. If this is due to green-house gases or not, there is much controversy to the matter.

How greenhouse effect affects global warming?

The green house effect is called that because the earths atmosphere is acting like a green house. The pollutant gases in the earth's atmosphere trap the sun's heat around the earth just like in a green house where the glass traps the heat in the glass house. This trapped heat raises the overall temp of the earth this is called global warming.


Are green house gases dangerous?

yes, green house gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and others are causes of global warming.
