Anthropogenic means made by humans, so the greenhouse gases caused by man are mostly carbon dioxide and some methane, and some CFCs.
CO2 and water vapor (H2O) are greenhouse gases, with CO2 being the primary driver of anthropogenic climate change. N2 and O2 are not greenhouse gases because they do not efficiently trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are greenhouse gases that are entirely made by human endeavors. All other greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane CH4, etc occur in nature as well as being produced by man.
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".
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases Carbon Dioxide (CO2).Methane released from cattle rearing as well as other agricultural practices.Carbon dioxide released from cement manufacturing.
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.

The main anthropogenic greenhouse gases contributing to global warming are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases (HFCs, PFCs, SF6). These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, creating the greenhouse effect, which leads to rising global temperatures and climate change. Reducing emissions of these gases is essential to mitigating global warming.

Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
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
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that accounts for the majority of the anthropogenic greenhouse effect. It is released through human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, and contributes significantly to global warming.
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a gas that is entirely anthropogenic, meaning it is created by human activities. It is a potent greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential.
