The stronger, or enhanced greenhouse effect is principally the result of human activities that increase the atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane. these activities include burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, manufacturing cement and deforestation.

How would an increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere change the greenhouse effect?

It would make the greenhouse effect stronger.


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.


What is the greenhouse affect?

The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gasses in the atmosphere trap infrared radiation. This effect makes the planet warmer than it would be without a greenhouse effect.The greenhouse effect is caused by greenhouse gases; the most important greenhouse gasses in Earth's atmosphere are: water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.Recently, the greenhouse effect has gotten stronger. Scientists believe this is because humans have been using large amounts of fossil fuels, which release carbon dioxide when they are burned. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, it has caused the planet to warm over the past 150 years.


What form of heat is caused by the greenhouse effect?

There are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection and radiation. The heat transfer caused by the greenhouse effect is radiation.


Which form of heat transfer is caused by the green houses effect?

Radiation is the form of heat transfer that is caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide is an example of a greenhouse gas.


Does the greenhouse effect only effect the Venus?

No. That's what global warming is caused by.


Is the Greenhouse effect caused by the sun growing stronger?

No, it is caused by harmful gases being released into the air and our sun is actually becoming cooler over time.Further information:Earth has both a natural and a man-made greenhouse effect.Its 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.


Does a planet need atmosphere to have a Greenhouse Effect?

Yes. The greenhouse effect is caused by gasses that block thermal radiation from a planet's surface.


Is the greenhouse effect natural or human caused event?

both


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.


What are some aspects that ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect have in common?

There are important aspects of ozone depletion and greenhouse effect. They are caused by same sources.


What are the two types of greenhouse effect?

The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation) leads to global warming and climate change.(There is also the very dangerous runaway greenhouse effect that happened on Venus.)
