The sun lights and warms the planet. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere retain this heat to allow life on earth. The greenhouse effect is driven by the carbon cycle.

The sun supports photosynthesis, the process used by green plants and some bacteria to make compounds such as carbohydrates. The sun powers the cycling of matter, it also drives the climate and weather systems that distribute heat and fresh water.

What are the Benefits of Natural Greenhouse Gases?

one pro is that it helps regulate earths temperature, but with fossil fuals which emites greenhouse gases it makes earth get hotter. and that's how you get global warming.


Is the fallowing sentence true or false the greenhouse effect is a natural process?

The greenhouse gases present in the earths atmosphere are both naturally produced and man made. The natural greenhouse gases (methane, water vapour, carbon dioxide) make the Earth warmer than it would be without the Greenhouse effect (this allows it to be habitable). The addition of man made greenhouse gases (methane, carbon dioxide and a few others) increases the temperature past the natural levels. SO the greenhouse effect is both natural and a result of human activities. If you consider the opposite of a "natural effect" to be a "supernatural effect" resulting from gods, devils or ghosts -the greenhouse effect is natural with no supernatural contribution.


What is a natural phenomenon that maintains earths temperature range?

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that maintains Earth's temperature range by trapping heat in the atmosphere. This process allows some of the sun's energy to enter the Earth's atmosphere while preventing some of the heat from escaping back into space.


How does the increase in carbon dioxide emissions affect the earths natural cycle of temperature cycle?

It raises the temperature and makes it hotter through the greenhouse effect.


If the removal of oil from the planet earth is the cause global warminghow will we stop the large oil companys from drilling for the earths natural coolants?

The cause of global warming related indirectly with the use ("drilling") of Oil. If you use oil on ur machine, then it will emit a 'greenhouse' gas that will trigger the greenhouse effect thus creating the global warming.


What is the trapping of heat near a planet's surface by certain gases in the planet's atmosphere?

We call it the greenhouse effect, which is natural, or the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

How does the atmosphere make earths temperatures suitable for life?

The atmosphere's composition allows it to trap heat from the sun through the greenhouse effect, which helps regulate Earth's temperature. Gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat, keeping the planet warm enough to support life. Without this natural greenhouse effect, Earth would be too cold to sustain life as we know it.
