A decrease in the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere would result in?

A decrease in greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere would lead to less trapping of heat, potentially reducing global warming and its associated impacts like rising sea levels and extreme weather events. This decrease could help stabilize the Earth's climate and mitigate the effects of human-induced climate change.


What would happen if the amount of greenhouse gases were reduced?

If the amount of greenhouse gases were reduced, it would lead to a decrease in the Earth's overall temperature, slowing down global warming and potentially mitigating the impacts of climate change. This reduction could also improve air quality and decrease the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.


Which is not a natural cause of climatic change?

Human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation are not natural causes of climatic change. These activities release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to the enhanced greenhouse effect and global warming.


What is meant by the term greenhouse effect listing the three most significant greenhouse gases?

The term "greenhouse effect" is made up of two different effects: "Natural and Man-made". There is a "natural" greenhouse effect that keeps the Earth's climate warm and habitable. There is also the "man-made" greenhouse effect, which is the enhancement of Earth's natural greenhouse effect by the addition of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels (mainly petroleum, coal, and natural gas). The three most significant green houses gases and the amount they contribute are water vapor (80%), carbon dioxide (6%) and methane (1%). Nature produces 99.7% of all green house gas emissions.


How do greenhouse gases affect the reflection of solar radiation in the Earth's atmosphere?

Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing an increase in temperature. This leads to a decrease in the reflection of solar radiation, as more heat is absorbed by the gases instead of being reflected back into space.

What Natural factors increase Greenhouse Gases?

Rotting trees and vegetation emit carbon dioxide and methane, both greenhouse gases.


What natural greenhouse gases are associated with greenhouse effect?

global warming


Do the gases in the atmosphere increase or decrease global warming?

The greenhouse gases are increasing global warming.


Are greenhouse gases and natural gases ultimately the same?

A1. Natural gas is methane, CH4. It is a greenhouse gas, but far from the only one. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is the one that we are most concerned about.A2. But man made gases such as sulfur dioxide, and the fluorocarbons, (and more) also play their parts.


Does nature produce greenhouse gases?

Natural gas is a greenhouse gas, methane, and when it is burnt it releases the other greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.


What kind of gases are released by the burning of natural gas?

Greenhouse gases, like Carbon dioxide (CO2).


What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?

A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.


How have human activities changed the greenhouse gases?

Human activities like burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation have increasedlevels of greenhouse gases.


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 are two factors that contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer?

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.
