What happens when gases like carbon dioxide get trapped in the atmosphere?

That would depend on what is absorbing it. If it is plants, they grow well. If it is our oceans, they drop in PH.
In any event, the level CO2 decreases in the atmosphere. Historically, CO2 levels do not change though unless temperature changes first.

What is it called when warming of the earth has trapped carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The Greenhouse Effect
Why is the earth experiencing the Greenhouse effect?
When fossil fuels are used, the release carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is trapped in the Earth's atmosphere and that causes the Earth to get hotter.
Accumulations of carbon dioxide can interfere with the transmissions of these rays?
infrared
What is it called when the suns heat is trapped by carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere causing global warming?
greenhouse effect
Global warming is happening because?
Earth's atmosphere has a lot of carbon dioxide. When heat from the sun penetrates the atmosphere, the carbon dioxide makes it hard to return back to space. So minimal heat gets reflected. This is what you call the greenhouse effect. The heat gets trapped inside our atmosphere. This is global warming.

What are the trapped gases in the atmosphere?
The main one is Carbon Dioxide (or CO2). Also, methane and nitrogen are all trapped in the Earth's atmosphere, and CFC's also.
What is the term or phrase for the warming caused by trapped carbon dioxide in your atmosphere?
Green house effect

What is locked up carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide that has been taken out of the atmosphere and trapped inside oceans, sedimentary rocks, volcanoes etc. from billions and billions of years ago.
What happens when carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere?
nothing will happen at all
What happens when carbon dioxide levels decrease in the atmosphere?
The atmospheric temperature will decrease
Accumulations of carbon dioxide can interfere with the transmissions of these rays?
infrared
What is it called when the suns heat is trapped by carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere causing global warming?
greenhouse effect
What is it called when the sun's heat is trapped by carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere causing global warming?
its called dioxmimalenoge.
What planet has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Venus has the thickest carbon dioxide atmosphere.
