How can a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase Earth's global temperature?

When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.


What is the rise in temperature due to an increase in carbon dioxide called?

The increase in temperature due to elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat from the Sun, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface.


What planet has high carbon dioxide atmosphere and a high temperature surface?

Venus


What do you call the phenomenon wherein there is a marked increase in the earth's surface temperature associated with the radiation being trapped by its atmosphere?

This phenomenon is known as global warming. It occurs when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the gradual increase in the planet's surface temperature.


Why evaporation happens at the surface?

When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.


An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near Earth's surface is called .?

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere influences the Earth's surface temperature by?

absorbing heat energy


When carbon dioxide levels increase in the atmosphere what happens to global temperatures?

When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.


Why does the water evaporates?

When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.

Can Greenhouse gases change Earth's average surface temperature?

Yes. They can and they do. Any increase in the level of carbon dioxide or methane in the atmosphere will result in an increase in average global temperatures. This typically results in evaporation of additional water vapour, creating a slight amplifier effect, to further increase surface temperatures.


A rise in the Earth surface temperature due to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is called?

An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
