Man produces about 0.28% of all green house gas and this is due to these activities. Most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels. When these fuels are burnt, either for electricity or transport they release carbon dioxide which adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

What green house gas does a fridge produce?

A fridge itself does not directly produce a greenhouse gas. However, the electricity used to run a fridge can produce greenhouse gases depending on the source of the electricity (e.g., fossil fuels).


Why does barium give a green flame test?

The heat of the flame excites the metals ions, causing them to emit visible light. The characteristic emission spectra can be used to differentiate between some elements.SO the characteristic emission spectra of Barium contains wavelengths corresponding to green color.


What are the 4 main green house gases?

The four main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases (such as hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride).


What makes a green house gas different from other gases in the atmosphere?

The definition of greenhouse gases are any gas with three or more atoms.Answer:The bond lengths between atoms in green house gases allows them to absorb heat energy more easily from sunlight. This is then shared with other atmospheric gases.


Who or what causes global warming?

Global warming is being cuased by humans. They are polluting the atmosphere with Green House Gases like CO2 and water vapour(95% of green house gas emmisions) and we are killing our plant. Everything has carbon in it, us, trees, rocks, water, fish, basically everything, so when we breathe, or burn things carbon is released, mixed with oxygen, then made into the compound CO2. Cows that produce methane, and other such things can produce it, but it is mainly us.

What are environmental issues and what can be done to prevent them?

The main environmental issues are:Ozone depletionGlobal warm up due to emission of green house gasesacid rainair pollution due to emission of CO2, SO2, NOx, CO, heavy metals as mercury, lead, cadmium, and Arsenic.It can be prevented through using clean energy technologies that controls the emission of air pollutants, green house gases, and the extensive use of fuoronated gases ( as hydrofluorocarbons, fluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride)

What are the impacts of forest?

There are various impacts of forest degradation ranging from biodiversity loss, increase in green house gases emission which leads to the green house effect, even soil nutrient loss and a wide range of it.


What are green house emission?

There are four different greenhouse emissions that help to reduce the emissions on the earth. These four include methane, carbon dioxide, fluorinated gases and nitrous oxide.

How is turning off electricity reduce greenhouse gases?

Turning of electricity abates green house gas emissions. As one unit i.e. 1KWH = 1 tonne of CO2 equivalent.


What are the green gases?

They are not green gases, they are called greenhouse gases and they cause global warming.


How can you stop green house gases?

One way to stop or reduce greenhouse gases is to use clean electricity. Another way is to reduce, reuse and recycle items around the home to help conserve energy.


What is tidal power useful for?

The movement of water when the tide rises and falls can be captured and turned into electricity. This electricity can be fed into the grid as green renewable energy, as it emits no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases when generated.
