What is the name that scientists give to substances in our atmosphere that allow light in but do not allow heat to escape?
They're commonly called 'greenhouse gasses'.
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
Name two greenhouse gases in your atmosphere?
two greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane
What does 'sequestering greenhouse gases' mean?
To sequester means to keep away from other things so sequestering greenhouse gases means to contain the gases in a location away from other gases. Greenhouse gases are building up in the atmosphere, so scientists are investigating ways of pumping them underground.
Is the sun involved in the greenhouse gases?
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
Is chlorine - Cl2 - a greenhouse gas?
Chlorine (Cl2) is not considered a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases are substances that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect. Chlorine is not one of these gases.
How is it possible for chemicals to be both ozone depleting and greenhouse gases?
Chemicals can be both ozone depleting and greenhouse gases depending on their chemical structure and how they interact with the atmosphere. For example, certain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) can deplete the ozone layer by breaking down ozone molecules, while also acting as powerful greenhouse gases by trapping heat in the atmosphere. The dual impact of these chemicals highlights the complex interplay between different environmental issues.
What are the gases involved with greenhouse gases?
The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.
What is the name that scientists give to substances in our atmosphere that allow light in but do not allow heat to escape?
They're commonly called 'greenhouse gasses'.
What is thought to cause ozone depletion including gases involved?
Ozone depletion is mainly caused by human-made chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, and other ozone-depleting substances (ODS). These gases release chlorine and bromine atoms in the stratosphere, which then break down ozone molecules. This leads to a reduction in the protective ozone layer in the Earth's atmosphere.
What is the substance causing the greenhouse effect?
There are several substances that cause the greenhouse effect and they are called greenhouse gases. The main greenhouse gases are: CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) N2O (Nitrous Oxide) O3 (Ozone) CH4 (Methane) CFC (Chlorofluorocarbon) H2O (Water Vapor) A: There are four primary greenhouse gases. They are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorocarbons. There are others, but these are the ones of greatest concern.
What name is given to the class of chemicals that destroy the ozone layer?
Greenhouse Gases Stuff like C02 and Carbon monoxide
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What is pollutans?
Pollutants are substances that contaminate the environment, causing harm to living organisms and ecosystems. They can come from various sources, such as industrial activities, vehicles, and agricultural practices. Common pollutants include chemicals, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases.
