Which two gases have been added to earth's atmosphere in large amounts and are believed to have increased global warming by absorbing infrared radiation?
methane and carbon dioxide
What is the current atmosphere of Earth believed to be?
Earths atmosphere is made up mostly of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent some?
The sun's total energy package. There are about 1355 watts hitting each meter of atmosphere. Roughly 375 watts reach our planet. This amount varies greatly on weather conditions. Water vapor (clouds) provide most of the feedback loop.It is believed that man's contribution of 0.28% of the total green houses gases may have some affect on the current warming. Science suggests (and data supports) that this may well not be the issue. While man has been steadily increasing his contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere (now reaching 6% of total CO2 production and 0.28% of total GHG) we are seeing a steady decline in temperature worldwide. The crest seems to have been in 1998. The start point of this warming was about 6000 years ago. Of the 11 degrees (C) of warming we have verified, only 0.2 has occurred since man started using fuel.Reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent some solar radiation from reaching the earth's surface.
Scientists can determine if oxygen existed in earths Archean atmosphere by?
The Archean atmosphere is believed to have been free of free oxygen. Banded iron formations did not occur till near the end of the Archean period.
How greenhouse effect is formed?
our planet emites heat and light in the form of far-red light. this energy is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere who in turn emit it back. the more such gases you have the more heat is trapped in the atmosphere

methane and carbon dioxide
Why does the wavelength response of the humans eye match so well with the visual window of Earth's atmosphere?
The human eye's sensitivity to wavelengths in the visual window of Earth's atmosphere is due to evolution adaptations during the development of the human eye. If infrared radiation were in abundance, then it is believed our eyes would be sensitive to infrared radiation.
How is carbon in any form given out in the atmosphere?
It enters our atmosphere through dead animals, tress and any decaying or burning item that lived. It is believed by some that the change in our atmosphere of concentrations of CO@ may be as high as 0.007%. Some feel this number is wildly high.Oceans provide the largest sink for absorbing this CO2 from our air. Forests provide the largest generator for CO2. Man produces roughly 6% of all CO2 in our atmosphere.
What are the major gases of the atmosphere of Haumea?
At this time it is believed tha Haumea has no atmosphere.
What kind of radiation does a black hole emit?
Black holes are believed to emit something called Hawking radiation.
What is the current atmosphere of Earth believed to be?
Earths atmosphere is made up mostly of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What is Neptune's atmosphere's most abundant gas?
About 85% of Neptune's atmosphere is believed to be made up of Hydrogen.
Darwin believed that the various species of finches on the Galapagos Islands came from one common ancestor He believed they evolved by?
adaptive radiation
Why is the atmosphere on Venus filled with sulfur?
That's believed to be a byproduct of volcanism, though the atmosphere is mainly filled with carbon dioxide.
How ia cosmic background radiation related to the big bang theory?
The cosmic background radiation is believed to be the remains of the radiation emitted by the Universe when it started to get transparent - when it had cooled down to a temperature of about 3000 kelvin.
What is the only moon in the solar system believed to have a substantial atmosphere?
Titan - a moon of Saturn - has a substantial atmosphere comprised of mainly nitrogen.
Did volcanoes create life?
After loss of the hydrogen, helium and other hydrogen-containing gases from early Earth due to the Sun's radiation, primitive Earth was without an atmosphere. The first atmosphere was formed by gases leaking out from the interior of the early Earth, which still goes on today in volcanoes. Without an atmosphere, life would not have formed.
