How does the addition of more greenhouse gases over time affect earths average temperature?

Greenhouse gases absorb heat rising from the suface of the earth. The more greenhouse gases there are, the more heat is absorbed. This is what is happening now. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), we are adding extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and this is causing global warming.


Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.


How does greenhouse gases affect the heat flow in and out of earth's atmosphere?

Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation. This leads to an increase in the overall temperature of the Earth, a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect. As the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere rises, more heat is trapped, causing global temperatures to increase.

Does carbon dioxide affect the earths atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This extra CO2 makes an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming .


What effect would an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have on earths overall temperature?

Of course, greenhouse gases keep the Earth from being one large popsicle. The newest studies of the atmosphere indicate that the atmosphere is pretty stable, now. The reason is that nearly all of the greenhouse gases are water vapor mostly evaporated from the oceans.
