Are greenhouse gases found in a layer like the ozone layer?
Greenhouse gases are not really found in a layer. Greenhouse gases are generally distributed, with the only exception of ozone itself. A greenhouse gas is any gas that is comprised of three or more atoms. Common in our atmosphere are: water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and a few more at very low levels. Greenhouse gases work by letting energetic light pass (say from the Sun), then not allowing infrared through without absorbing and scattering it.
How does the greenhouse effect warm the Earth?
The earth is surrounded by an atmosphere of air, made up of a number of gases. These gases form a 'blanket' which prevents all the sun's heat (infrared radiation) from reflecting back into space. If this greenhouse blanket was not there the surface of the earth would be about minus 18 degrees C (0ºF), instead of its present average temperature of 15 degrees C (59ºF). So this natural greenhouse effect is very useful.The gases that keep the earth warm are called greenhouse gases. The most important gas, causing about 75% of the natural greenhouse effect, is water vapor. The next most important is carbon dioxide.About 200 years ago humans started pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, when the first factories began. Today the concentration of carbon dioxide is 40 per cent greater that it was in the 18th century. We have increased other greenhouse gases too, like methane, nitrous oxide and ozone.This is made worse by deforestation because plants take in CO2 and without them, less carbon dioxide is taken in, which in turn traps more heat.These increased amounts of greenhouse gases trap more infrared radiation and the earth's lower atmosphere is warming up. This is known as the enhanced greenhouse effect and is causing global warming, which, in turn, is causing climate change.A:it traps the heat in.Green House Gases are found in the troposphere. The sun's rays pass through this layer and reflect off of Earth's surface. Then after that the reflected light hits the gases causing them to heat. This heat is then re-reflected towards earth where it increases the warming.Carbon dioxide traps energy from the sun.The sunlight travels through the atmosphere until it hits the earth. Upon hitting the earth the energy changes from light to heat. Heat will move to an area where there is less heat. Normally toward space. Gases like water vapor, Carbon dioxide, and methane slow down this movement and cause the heat to collect closer to the earth. This in turn heats the planet.Cutting down the rain forests increases the greenhouse effect because it reduces the amount of clouds in the atmosphere. This allows more light to reach the earth and change into heat.Cutting down northern forests decreases the greenhouse effect by allowing the snow to accumulate. This keeps the light from turning into heat by reflecting more of it into space.
Which layer in the atmosphere traps all the heat?
The layer that traps most of the heat in the Earth's atmosphere is the troposphere. This is where most weather events occur and where the majority of Earth's clouds and water vapor are found, allowing it to retain heat through the greenhouse effect.
What is the difference between CFC and greenhouse gases?
Greenhouse gasses refers to all types of gas that trap heat. CFC is a particular type of gas most commonly found in old refrigerators, air-conditioners and also spray cans. These are detrimental to the ozone layer.
What element is the alkaline earth metal in the fourth period?
The alkaline earth metal in the fourth period is calcium, which is found in Group 2 of the periodic table. Calcium is known for its importance in bone health, muscle function, and nerve transmission.
What form of carbon is found in the atmosphere?
In combined states like CO2, CO, H2CO3, etc
You found a hole into your greenhouse today with a mound of earth inside you also found small droppings about 5-7mm long what animal could it have been?
it wold be a earthworm
What is a diamatic molecule found in Earth's atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a diatomic molecule found in Earth's atmosphere. It consists of two atoms of carbon and one atom of oxygen. It is a greenhouse gas that plays a significant role in regulating the Earth's temperature.
Where can plans for a greenhouse be found online?
Greenhouse building plans can be found on informative sites such as About. There are also specialist sites that offer greenhouse plans, these include MyGreenhousePlans and FreePlans.
What is a common green house gas found in hydrogen and oxygen?
Water vapor is a common greenhouse gas found in hydrogen and oxygen. It is a naturally occurring component of the Earth's atmosphere and plays a significant role in the Earth's climate system.
How far are greenhouse gases from the surface of the earth?
Greenhouse gasses are all around us. In fact, you breathe out carbon dioxide every time you exhale, and when you drink water, you're conusming H2O, which in vapor form is also a greenhouse gas.
Is ozone located anywhere else besides the ozone layer?
Yes, ozone is found in trace quantities in earth's atmosphere. it is a greenhouse gas.
Where are flowering plants found?
They are found in a Greenhouse and all over the place.
What does the ozone have to do with the greenhouse effect?
Ozone is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. However, it is found in the stratosphere, not the lower atmosphere where most greenhouse gases accumulate. Ozone depletion in the stratosphere can indirectly affect the greenhouse effect by allowing more harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun to penetrate Earth's surface, leading to warming.
What products can be found at Breck's Nursery?

Ozone is not a greenhouse gas as it is only found in the stratosphere?
Ozone *is* a greenhouse gas. Some ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, but it does reach its peak cocentration in the lower stratosphere. Note that the glass of a greenhouse is not down next to the plants...
