It is caused by humans emitting harmful gases and chemicals into our Earth's atmosphere.
Further information:
Earth has both a "natural" greenhouse effect and a "man-made" greenhouse effect.
The natural greenhouse effect is caused mostly by water vapour, and to a much smaller degree, to carbon dioxide, methane, and a few other minor gases. These factors help keep the Earth warm and habitable.
The "unnatural" greenhouse effect is what results from the burning of fossil fuels and rainforest trees, which release extra carbon when they are felled and burnt.
What else can I help you with?
What is the primary gas in the atmosphere responsible for the greenhouse effect?
Water Vapor is the gas that is largely responsible for the natural greenhouse effect that has warmed the earth for millions of years.Carbon dioxide is the gas that is largely responsible for the present accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming.
What is responsible for the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of earth?
The greenhouse effect, caused by gases like carbon dioxide and methane trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere, is primarily responsible for the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of Earth. This enhanced greenhouse effect is largely due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
What is another name for enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
What is the relationship between the greenhouse effect and global warming?
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. Global warming refers to the increase in Earth's average temperature due to human activities that enhance the greenhouse effect. In other words, the greenhouse effect contributes to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere, leading to a rise in temperatures worldwide.
What is the primary gas in the atmosphere responsible for the greenhouse effect?
Water Vapor is the gas that is largely responsible for the natural greenhouse effect that has warmed the earth for millions of years.Carbon dioxide is the gas that is largely responsible for the present accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming.
Is the main atmospheric gas responsible for the greenhouse effect carbon dioxide?
The normal greenhouse effect which keeps the earth warm enough for life is caused largely by water vapour, with a small effect from carbon dioxide and methane.However, the greenhouse gas responsible for the present enhanced greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide, yes.
What is the temperature of it atmosphere is increased by the greenhouse effect?
Both Earth and Venus have increase temperature due to a greenhouse effect. Venus has a much stronger greenhouse effect than Earth does.
Which planet never has a sunny day due to the greenhouse effect?
There is no bright sunlight on the surface of Venus. It's not really because of the greenhouse effect, even though Venus does have a big greenhouse effect.
Which planet is the hottest due to the greenhouse effect gone wild?
Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect. Its seas have now boiled dry!
What is responsible for the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of earth?
The greenhouse effect, caused by gases like carbon dioxide and methane trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere, is primarily responsible for the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of Earth. This enhanced greenhouse effect is largely due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
What other gases might increase the greenhouse effect?
There are 5 major greenhouse gasses: water vapour, carbon dioxide (also known as CO2), methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Water vapour is the strongest greenhouse gas but it happens largely naturally (ie ocean water evaporates when the sun shines on it). The other four are largely anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gasses. See chart linked below for detailed information on greenhouse gasses (GHG's) and their contribution to the greenhouse effect.
Which of the inner planet has a greenhouse effect due to its thick atmosphere?
EARTH!!!!!!!!
What is another name for enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".
Water and carbon dioxide are they the two largest contributors to Earth's greenhouse effect and are largely responsible for Earth's climate?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide are indeed significant greenhouse gases, contributing to the Earth's greenhouse effect and influencing the climate. Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas, but carbon dioxide has a longer atmospheric lifetime and can have a more sustained impact on the climate system due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels.
The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of?
The planet(s) through solar radiation and the retention of a small portion of this heat through atmospheric gases. The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mostly water vapor and carbon dioxide. This is a natural effect that has gone on for millions of years. The enhanced greenhouse effect, what we are experiencing now, is caused by the warming of the extra greenhouse gases that man is adding to the atmosphere, largely by burning fossil fuels, and by deforestation.
