- Water vapour is produced from lakes, rivers and oceans. It is a natural greenhouse gas and we cannot control it.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced naturally in the carbon cycle from trees, land and ocean. Extra CO2 is produced by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
- Methane is produced from fermenting and rotting vegetation, and from ruminant animals like cattle. Global warming is causing tundra and frozen lakes to melt, releasing frozen methane.
Water vapor makes up roughly 75% of all greenhouse gas forcing. It makes up roughly 95% of all of the green house gases in our atmosphere. This is done through the evaporation of water and is a natural process.
The second largest force in terms of green houses gases is CO2. This makes up 9 to 26% of all green house heating. 94% of this gas is produced through the rotting of dead plants. Man is responsible for the remaining 6% of this gas. Man produces this gas by burning that material that would rot or by the burning of fossil fuels to mover cars, heat homes or fuel industry. The largest single portion of this is produced (over 50%) by heating and powering homes. Man also prevents a great deal of CO2 from being produced by using lumber that is cut from forests. This causes a artificial carbon sink. The wood inside a structure decays slower and thereby does not enter the atmosphere.
The remaining gases make up virtually no additional heating.
The largest source of removing CO2 from our atmosphere is our oceans. They remove 70% of the CO2.
Having said this we can determine how these gases are made. 80 to 90% of all greenhouse gases are made by water evaporating from the oceans. Another 10 to 20% are made from rotting vegetation or life forms that have died and are decaying.
The remaining 0.28% is man made. Over half of this is due to our homes. Heating, air conditioning and power for our homes make up OVER 50% of what we create. The remaining 0.13% (or other half from man) is due to our transportation needs. These includes bringing vegetables and fruit from other areas to our local tables.
Another example of man producing CO2 is to exhale. Another issue such as METHANE would be through farting. Man is not alone as the animals contribute to green house gases as well. As for the planets, they love us and take in the CO2 and release another greenhouse gas we all call OXYGEN.
- Take a look at H2O and let it evaporate into HYDROGEN and OXYGEN. When the gases reach altitude they bond and form rain clouds and then come back down as H2O.
What else can I help you with?
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Which term is defined as an indicator of how people affect the emissions of greenhouse gases in the environment?
Carbon footprint is the term defined as an indicator of how people affect the emissions of greenhouse gases in the environment. It measures the total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly and indirectly to support human activities.
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
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.
Name two greenhouse gases in your atmosphere?
two greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane
How does nature create greenhouse gases?
Nature creates greenhouse gasses by having cows fart.
Which gas can create the greenhouse effect?
Water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are the most important greenhouse gases.
What are the benefits of solar geothermal hydro and wind energies?
None of them create greenhouse gases
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
Does greenhouse gases create an atmosphere?
No, greenhouse gases are part of the atmosphere, which is made up of 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases including methane. Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1%.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
Are wind farms good?
yes they are as they create renewable energy and do not harm the environment with greenhouse gases.
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Which term is defined as an indicator of how people affect the emissions of greenhouse gases in the environment?
Carbon footprint is the term defined as an indicator of how people affect the emissions of greenhouse gases in the environment. It measures the total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly and indirectly to support human activities.
How do you use the words 'greenhouse gases' in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
How are people adding to greenhouse gases?
By the oil we burn it releases carbons into the air adding to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
