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.

What type of gas is entirely anthropogenic?

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.


Which gas accounts for the majority of the anthropogenic greenhouse effect?

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.


What is an example of an anthropogenic contribution to carbon dioxide production?

Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas for energy production is a major anthropogenic contributor to carbon dioxide emissions. These activities release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climate change.


What are anthropogenic greenhouse gases?

Anthropogenic greenhouse gases are gases released into the atmosphere as a result of human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change.


What are the anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gases?

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.


What is exclusively a natural source of carbon dioxide?

Volcanoes are an exclusively natural source of carbon dioxide, releasing the gas during eruptions. This carbon dioxide can contribute to the greenhouse effect and affects the Earth's climate.


What are five anthropogenic causes of the greenhouse effect?

Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases carbon dioxide emissions, a greenhouse gas.Deforestation, cutting down forests. Growing trees and plants are the only things that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Cement and concrete production release carbon dioxide emissions.Cattle and other ruminants belch methane, another of the greenhouse gases.Rice paddy farming releases methane.These are all causes of the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.The natural greenhouse effect has been keeping the earth warm for millions of years, without any effects from human (anthropogenic) activity.


Which is an example of an anthropogenic contribution to carbon dioxide production?

The principal contribution is the combustion of the fossil fuels.


What is anthropogenic action?

Anthropogenic action means activities that are produced or caused by humans, usually used in a negative way. For example, polluted and degraded soil can be contributed to pesticides and fertilizer (man-made materials).


Is SF6 a greenhouse gas?

Yes, SF6 is a greenhouse gas.


What other gases might increase the greenhouse effect?

There are 5 major greenhouse gasses: water vapour, carbon dioxide (also known as CO2), methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Water vapour is the strongest greenhouse gas but it happens largely naturally (ie ocean water evaporates when the sun shines on it). The other four are largely anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gasses. See chart linked below for detailed information on greenhouse gasses (GHG's) and their contribution to the greenhouse effect.


Why are chlorofluorocarbons a nonanthropogenic greenhouse gas?

A "nonanthropogenic" anything is something that occurs naturally and doesn't requite human production, either on purpose or by accident. Chloroflurobcarbons do not exist anywhere because of natural processes. They are manmade (anthropogenic) by a complex industrial process.
