The natural greenhouse effect heats the earth. The water cycle and the carbon cycle keep enough greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to keep our planet comfortably warm. This has been happening for millions of years.
Greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat and prevent it radiating back out into space. These warmed up greenhouse gases warm the whole earth.
Since the Industrial Age, when we began to dig up and burn coal and other fossil fuels we started what is now known as global warming. The extra carbon dioxide liberated from all the fossil fuel caused an accelerated or enhanced greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is global warming a pollution?
Global warming in itself isn't pollution - global warming is the gradual warming of the earth. However, global warming was caused by carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere, but global warming in itself isn't a pollution. yes it is a pollution
What is the gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere?
Global warming is the name given to the recent (over 200 years) gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere.
Do meteors affect global warming?
No, meteors do not have a direct impact on global warming. Global warming is primarily driven by human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to the trapping of heat. Meteors are natural occurrences and are not significant contributors to changes in the Earth's climate.
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 does the greenhouse effect refer to?
Global Warming and Heat
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 might global warming do to us?
Global warming is the same thing as greenhouse effects. They trap a lot of heat and lets the remaining heat get away into space. Therefore, global warming heats up the Earth making it warmer.
What could be an introduction for my speech on global warming?
A:Global warming is a very big issue in the world today. Global warming is when the earth's temperature rises. The cause of global warming is when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun [in the atmosphere of the earth] causing the earth to heat up. Global warming affects animals and our environment, such as rise in sea levels which will cause extinction for more than a thousand species.
How has global warming helped the earth?
Global warming has not helped the earth, it has harmed the earth.
How can temperature (heat) he pollution?
global warming of course sillyWhat is global warming?Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth's atmosphere, which increases the temperature.thanks from raccebe and cydissa
Why earth have a global warming?
There is no such thing as "a global warming" global warming only happens to earth because human and our unruly decrease in the earths resources. HUMANS cause global warming.
How does global warming come to earth?
Global Warming is coming to earth. It is because of ozone depletion.
What is it called when carbon dioxide forms a heat blanket around the earth is called?
Global Warming
Will global warming make the earth end?
No, the earth will survive a lot of extra heat and climate change. Life on earth, however, will not.
Does Global Warming affect the temperature of the Earth's Mantle?
No. The global warming affect only involves the atmosphere. Earth's mantle generates it's own heart via the slow decay of radioisotopes, and is well insulated from the cooler atmosphere by earth's oceans and crustal rock. In general, heat dissipates, so the mantle would not gain heat from the much cooler atmosphere.
Is global warming a pollution?
Global warming in itself isn't pollution - global warming is the gradual warming of the earth. However, global warming was caused by carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere, but global warming in itself isn't a pollution. yes it is a pollution
