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.

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 does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?

The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.


Why would increased levels of greenhouse gases contribute to higher temperatures?

Increased levels of greenhouse gases trap more heat in the Earth's atmosphere, creating a "greenhouse effect." This leads to higher temperatures as more heat is retained and absorbed by the Earth's surface.


How do you use the words 'greenhouse gases' in a sentence?

Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.


Is the sun involved in the greenhouse gases?

Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.


What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?

Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.


What substances trap heat from the earth in?

Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.


How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?

Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are essential in mitigating the impacts of climate change.


What are greenhouse?

Non-greenhouse gases are all gases except the greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are those that can absorb and emit infrared radiation.The most abundant greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are:Water vapor (H2O)Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)Ozone (O3)CFCs


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.


What is the current situation of the earth's atmosphere?

Well in terms of Global Warming, the burning of fossil fuels (gas for cars is one) releases more greenhouse gases, which mean there are more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases reflect sunlight BACK towards earth, keeping it warm. So the more greenhouse gases means the earth is warmer.
