Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is not absorbed, and oxygen produced, and the carbon (of CO2) cannot form biomass), because there are no trees.
Photosynthesis is the process in green plant material (leaf , grass etc.,) where carbon dioxide is absorbed, and oxygen produced into the atmosphere. 'u.v' light(sunlight) is also needed; the process does NOT proceed at night. The carbon of CO2 forms part of the plant's biomass. Trees are particularly efficient at this process, but ALL green plant material (grass , leaves, etc.,) undergoes the process. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a heavy gas, and will fall to the ground, hence it will react with plant material, and not move into the upper atmosphere.

Do cooking fuels contribute to the green house effect?
The only fuels that contribute to the greenhouse effect are fossil fuels. So, using coal, coke, petroleum oil, gas or peat for cooking does contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming, but using wood, biofuels and other renewable resources does not.
Why is nitrogen not considered a greenhouse gas?
Nitrogen is not considered a greenhouse gas because it does not absorb or emit infrared radiation, which is necessary for a gas to contribute to the greenhouse effect.
What does nitrogen do in the greenhouse effect?
Nitrogen itself does not contribute directly to the greenhouse effect. The main greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. However, nitrogen compounds can indirectly affect the greenhouse effect when they are released into the atmosphere and interact with other greenhouse gases.
The warming of an atmosphere that is the result of gasses such as carbon dioxide which prevent the sun's heat from escaping?
This is known as the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to a warming effect. This phenomenon can contribute to global warming and climate change.
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
Is it true that the greenhouse effect can be reduced by limiting the destruction of forests?
Limiting the destruction of forests can slow the rate of global warming, but in itself is probably not enough to reduce the greenhouse effect. This can be achieved by reforestation, planting more trees, and by cutting our carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Removal of important forests such as these in brazil worzens the greenhouse effect why?
Forests absorb greenhouse gases. They are the ones that cause ozone depletion.
What effect is the destruction of forests likely to have atmospheric CO2 concentrations?
the increased CO2 levels since the destruction of forests will be fixed by photosynthesis
did the greenhouse effect increase?
Yes. When we started burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and cutting down the great forests of the worldd (deforestation), the normal greenhouse effect began to change into the accelerated, or enhanced greenhouse effect which we now have.
How can forests add to global cooling?
Forests take in carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) and liberate oxygen ( O2 ). Carbon dioxide is the cause of greenhouse effect which causes global warming. Hence, if they are more forests then more carbon dioxide is absorbed and there is less of greenhouse effect thus overall global cooling.
Do cooking fuels contribute to the green house effect?
The only fuels that contribute to the greenhouse effect are fossil fuels. So, using coal, coke, petroleum oil, gas or peat for cooking does contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming, but using wood, biofuels and other renewable resources does not.
How do every day people contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Everyday people contribute to the greenhouse effect by activities such as burning fossil fuels for transportation and energy, deforestation, consumption of meat from livestock, and overuse of energy in households. These actions release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere, trapping heat and contributing to global warming.
Why is nitrogen not considered a greenhouse gas?
Nitrogen is not considered a greenhouse gas because it does not absorb or emit infrared radiation, which is necessary for a gas to contribute to the greenhouse effect.
How do bombs increase global warming?
Bombs can contribute to global warming through their emissions of greenhouse gases and particles into the atmosphere upon detonation. The combustion of explosive materials releases carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and soot, which can trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming. The environmental impact of bombs also includes the destruction of forests and ecosystems, which can further accelerate climate change.
Why are forests good for the environment?
Forests remove carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. This reduces the threat of a accelerated greenhouse effect. In the forest the trees also gives us oxygen and they are good for your health.
Does paraffin contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Yes, paraffin is produced from petroleum, a fossil fuel. It contains carbon dioxide from millions of years ago, so when it is burnt it adds to the normal greenhouse effect which has become overwhelmed by all the extra carbon dioxide. The normal greenhouse effect is now warming into the accelerated greenhouse effect.
What does nitrogen do in the greenhouse effect?
Nitrogen itself does not contribute directly to the greenhouse effect. The main greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. However, nitrogen compounds can indirectly affect the greenhouse effect when they are released into the atmosphere and interact with other greenhouse gases.
