There really is no other term for the effect of greenhouse gases besides the greenhouse effect.

Other associated terms for what the effects cause include:

  • Global Warming
  • Global Climate Change
  • Climate Change
  • Greenhouse Gas Effect

What is another name for enhanced greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".


Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?

greenhouse effect


Is carbon dioxide a greenhouse effect?

No, carbon dioxide (CO2) is NOT an effect of the greenhouse effect. It is one of the causes. With other greenhouse gases it is responsible for the natural greenhouse effect, and the extra levels of CO2 from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is why global warming is happening.


How is the Greenhouse effect linked to the burning of fossil fuels?

Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun within the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect. This effect causes global temperatures to rise, resulting in climate change and other environmental impacts.


What name is given to warming of the earth due to increased levels of carbon dioxide?

The name given to warming of the earth due to increased levels of carbon dioxide is global warming. This is a result of the greenhouse effect, where carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to a rise in temperature.


What is the name of the effect that causes the warming of the atmosphere because of trapped heat from the sun?

The name of the effect is the greenhouse effect. This is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface by trapping heat in the atmosphere, caused by gases like carbon dioxide and methane.


Does the greenhouse effect only occur on earth?

No, the greenhouse effect is a natural process that occurs on Earth and other planets with atmospheres. For example, Venus has an extreme greenhouse effect that has resulted in high surface temperatures.


What are some effects of the greenhouse effect?

There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.


What other planets have greenhouse gases?

Two other planets besides Earth.Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, with most of its atmosphere carbon dioxide, and a temperature of 460° Celsius.Mars has a very faint greenhouse effect, with a little carbon dioxide, but hardly any atmosphere at all.Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has a greenhouse effect, with large concentrations of methane.


What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.


What does nitrogen do in the greenhouse effect?

Nitrogen itself does not contribute directly to the greenhouse effect. The main greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. However, nitrogen compounds can indirectly affect the greenhouse effect when they are released into the atmosphere and interact with other greenhouse gases.


What is the name of the process that traps greenhouse gases inside the earth?

Kind of guessing, but I think its called the Greenhouse Effect.
