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.
Excess carbon gases released into the atmosphere cause additional radiation to be retained and Earth's average temperature to increase This phenomenon is known as?
the greenhouse affect
Harmful particles and gases in the air are known as what?
The particles are known as pollution, aerosols, or particulates, and the harmful gases might be anthropocentric greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).
What is mixture of many gases known as?
Air
Why are scientists concerned that a rise in global temperature could start a feedback loop?
Greenhouse gases are trapped in the ocean and in other sinks such as peat bogs and the tundra covering large areas of northern Europe. In the same way as a warmed bottle of soft drink releases dissolved carbon dioxide when warmed, the dissolved carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases will be released as ocean waters warm. The "ancient" greenhouse gases thus released combine with human-generated greenhouse gases, leading to further warming and more release of gases in what is known as a positive feedback loop. The positive feedback principle is, incidentally, exactly the same as when a microphone is placed too close to a loudspeaker in the same amplifier system. Any minute noise picked up by the microphone is amplified and fed back into the microphone, leading to the increasingly loud and unpleasant "scream" of the system.
Can pressure measure temperature?
Yes, for gases if the volume is known
What is the state of semi metals at room temperature?
At room temperature all metalloids are solid.
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.
What is the malleable of xenon?
At normal temperature and pressure, xenon is a gas and so the question of malleability is irrelevant.
What is the best element known of the inert gases?
the last group or the 18th group of the table the helium group known as noble gases are known as inert gases
Nobel gases are also known as the?
Inert gases
Excess carbon gases released into the atmosphere cause additional radiation to be retained and Earth's average temperature to increase This phenomenon is known as?
the greenhouse affect
Excess carbon gases released into the atmosphere cause additional radiation to be retained and Earth's average temperature to increase. This phenomenon is known as?
the greenhouse affect
A predicted increase in earth's average temperature caused by human activities and the subsequent release of gases such as carbon dioxide is known as?
global warning nikkaz
In which group are the elements gases at room temperature?
There is no method to designate such properties. Only symbols with atomic number are mentioned.
What traps heat on Earth from escaping into space?
Our ozone, this is known as the greenhouse effect. Our greenhouse gases give way to the greenhouse effect by trapping heat on Earth. Some of these gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, etc. Deforestation and abundant cows lead to global warming.
Which group in the periodic table are known as noble gases?
group 18 elements are known as noble gases.
