Water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane are all greenhouse gases. This means they absorb heat rising from the surface of the earth (infrared radiation). Human activity (burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and bad farming practices, mostly), is adding more carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, so more heat is captured. This is global warming.

From which gases global warming is made?

Primarily Carbon Dioxide and Methane.


What gasses cause global warming?

Methane, carbon dioxide, CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).


What are the two main greenhouse gases causing global warming?

The two main greenhouse gases causing global warming are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in global temperatures and contributing to climate change.


Is carbon dioxide the only gas causing global warming?

No, but carbon dioxide is the main gas. Methane is the next most important gas causing global warming. Methane is more than twenty times more powerful than carbon dioxide, but not so plentiful. Methane comes from cattle, as well as from melting lakes and tundra.


Which of these gases contribute to global warming?

Main gases contributing to global warming are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and water vapor


What type of gas does global warming provide?

Global warming doesn't produce any gas. It is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.


Which greenhouse gas is most associated with global warming?

When we speak of global warming, we usually mean the rise in average global temperatures that has been occurring since the beginning of the Industrial Age. Rising levels of carbon dioxide account for most of this change, followed by methane levels.


What three gases cause global warming?

The three main greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in average global temperatures.


What traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to the phenomenon of global warming?

Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing global warming.


What are harmful gasses that are caused by global warminig?

There are no harmful gases that are caused by global warming. There are harmful gases that cause global warming, especially carbon dioxide and methane. Carbon dioxide comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and Methane is emitted from cattle farms, melting lakes and tundra.


Which gas in the atmosphere Global warming focuses on an increase in the level of heat?

Carbon dioxide is the main gas that contributes to global warming as it traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to an increase in the Earth's temperature.


What are the major gases that contribute to global warming?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are the main gases causing global warming. Carbon dioxide is released when we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and methane comes from our poor agricultural practices especially cattle rearing.
