What form of heat transfer is caused by the greenhouse effect?
There are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection and radiation. The heat transfer caused by the greenhouse effect is radiation.
Describe the greenhouse effect using the big idea of energy transfer?
The big idea of energy transfer is the idea of a source of energy being changed into another form of energy such as light energy to heat energy. This effect happens in global warming where chemical energy is transferred into heat energy with a greenhouse effect.
What is the process in which heat is trapped in earth's atmosphere by water vapor carbon dioxide and other gases that form a blanket around earth?
This process is known as the greenhouse effect. It occurs when greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, preventing it from escaping into space. This leads to a warming of the Earth's surface and is essential for maintaining the planet's temperature suitable for life.
The primary mechanism by which CO2 contributes to global warming is by what?
The sun's light and heat (in all the visible frequencies) warms the surface of the earth. The earth then emits heat in the form of lower-frequency infra-red rays which can be trapped by the carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Why is carbon dioxide considered a greenhouse gas and how does it contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is considered a greenhouse gas because it traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. When sunlight reaches the Earth's surface, some of it is absorbed and warms the planet. The Earth then emits this heat in the form of infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide absorb and trap some of this infrared radiation, preventing it from escaping into space. This trapped heat leads to an increase in the Earth's temperature, known as the greenhouse effect.
Which form of heat transfer is caused by the green houses effect?
Radiation is the form of heat transfer that is caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide is an example of a greenhouse gas.

What happens to the size of the waves when reflected in the greenhouse effect?
Visible light radiation comes to us from the sun in the form of short wave ultraviolet light. This warms the surface of the earth. This warmth rises into the atmosphere in the form of infrared, long wave radiation, where it is captured by greenhouse gases in the greenhouse effect.
What is the best description that the terrestrial atmosphere is heated in irregular form with the heat of the sun?
The greenhouse effect.
What is the name of the effect in which gases in the atmosphere absorb thermal energy and radiate it back to Earth?
No such effect exists. You are, possibly, referring to the greenhouse effect some materials and gasses have.Some gasses are transparent to certain electromagnetic wavelengths and opaque to others.Energy, in the form of electromagnetic lightwaves, pass through the atomosphere. However there are certain gasses that are opaque, to a certain extent, to energy in the form of electromagnetic infrared, or heat energy.Energy in the form of heat, is blocked by such gasses and cannot easily radiate away.Which is exactly the same reason why greenhouses work. Hence the name 'greenhouse effect'.An excellent example of this is the planet Venus which has a runaway 'greenhouse effect'.

What form of carbon is found in the atmosphere?
In combined states like CO2, CO, H2CO3, etc

Which side effect of directly caused by draining the groundwater form a region?
sinking and compaction of the land
