The main causes of too many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are human activities such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), deforestation, industrial processes, and agriculture. These activities release carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases, leading to an increase in their concentrations in the atmosphere and contributing to global warming and climate change.

Gases in the atmosphere that trap solar energy are called?
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap solar energy in the Earth's atmosphere. This leads to the greenhouse effect, which contributes to global warming and climate change.
Why would increased levels of greenhouse gases contribute to higher tempertures on earth?
Increased levels of greenhouse gases lead to higher temperatures on Earth because these gases trap heat in the atmosphere, preventing it from escaping into space. This process, known as the greenhouse effect, results in a warming of the planet's surface. The more greenhouse gases there are, the more heat is trapped, leading to an increase in global temperatures.
What is the role of greenhouse gasses in earths atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect. This effect helps to keep Earth warm enough to support life. However, increased levels of greenhouse gases due to human activities are causing the planet to warm at an accelerated rate, resulting in climate change.
How does carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses contribute the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface. This trapping of heat leads to the greenhouse effect, which results in warming of the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere. The increased concentration of these gases in the atmosphere, primarily due to human activities like burning fossil fuels, is enhancing the greenhouse effect and causing global warming.
What is the source of radiation for both earth's atmosphere and greenhouse?
The sun.

How can greenhouse gases create a global temperature rises?
As infrared (mainly emitted from the sun) enters our atmosphere it is partly absorbed as heat and partly reflected back into space. However, when greenhouse gasses are present, they reflect the infrared rays back to earth, preventing some of the heat to escape. This can be useful in maintaining the atmosphere's temperature but when there is a large amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere too much heat is trapped, which causes the earth to heat up.
How do greenhouse gases warm the lower atmosphere?
Greenhouse gasses harm the Earth because they pollute the air and makes our atmosphere thinner. When that happens, it is letting more and more heat in our Earth that drought will happen and water will be lost.
Which component of a volcanic eruption causes warming of the earth?
Emission of water vapor and other greenhouse gasses!
Is global warming another term for the greenhouse effect?
No. The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gasses, called greenhouse gasses, help to trap heat within Earth's atmosphere. This effect has been in place for as long as Earth has had an atmosphere and is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the planet would freeze over. Global warming is primarily the result of an enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by extra geenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere.
How are fossil fuels and forrests linked to the greenhouse effect?
when you burn fossil fuels you get greenhouse gasses but that causes global warming so that causes two damages to the earth and enviorment.
The mixture of gasses that surround the earth?
Atmosphere. It is a mixture of gasses that surrounds the earth.
Gases in the atmosphere that trap solar energy are called?
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap solar energy in the Earth's atmosphere. This leads to the greenhouse effect, which contributes to global warming and climate change.
Why are greenhouse gases similar to a Greenhouse?
Like in a greenhouse, greenhouse gasses let radiation from the sun reach Earth (the 'inside' of the greenhouse) but won't let the Earth reflect radiation. This is exactly what greenhouses do. Through the glass walls, the sunlight can come in, but once the rays are inside, the heat is trapped. That causes (intentional) temperature rise in the greenhouse. These gasses also (most likely) cause a temperature rise on Earth.
What effects do the green house gases have?
When in the atmosphere, they "trap" or reflect back outgoing infrared radiation (that Earth would normally shine out into space) so that the average heat loss of the Earth is reduced. This causes the atmosphere to heat up slightly. This is called "global warming" They are called "greenhouse gasses" because the glass in a greenhouse has a similar effect, warming the inside of the greenhouse by trapping the Sun's heat.
What effects does using fuels have on the atmosphere?
It depends on which fuel. Fossil fuels produce greenhouse gasses which can be detrimental to the overall temperature of the earth.
Where in the atmosphere are greenhouse gases?
All of it . . . the largest amount of greenhouse gas is plain old water vapor. (Humidity) Without the greenhouse gasses, the Earth would be an icy ball with no animals, plants, or humans.
