Nitrogen and oxygen are not greenhouse gases. They are unable to trap and store heat. 3-atom gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane store this heat and cause the greenhouse effect.

What is the other name for the greenhouse effect?
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 WarmingGlobal Climate ChangeClimate ChangeGreenhouse Gas Effect
Will greenhouse gas effect global warming?
yes, increases in greenhouse gasses are the dominant cause of global warming.
What does the greenhouse effect cause an increase in?
It causes an increase in the Earth's temperature.
What gases cause a greenhouse effect on planets?
Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) trap infrared radiation (heat) causing a greenhouse effect.
What is the cause effect and solution of the greenhouse effect?
Normal greenhouse effect:The cause of the normal greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that capture the sun's heat as it radiates back out from the earth.The effect of the normal greenhouse effect is to keep the earth warm enough for life.We do not need a solution for the normal greenhouse effect because it is not a problem for us.Enhanced greenhouse effect:The cause of the enhanced greenhouse effect is the extra greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide and methane, that we have been adding to the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, mostly by burning coal, oil and natural gas. Deforestation means that less carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.The effect of the enhanced greenhouse effect is to make the atmosphere warmer, all over the world - global warming.The solution for the enhanced greenhouse effect is for the whole world to use renewable energy sources for industry, transport and electricity, so we can stop burning fossil fuels. If the world plants more forests the trees will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. If we improve our agricultural practices we can reduce the amount of methane put into the atmosphere.
What does the greenhouse effect have to do with the Carbon cycle and the Oxygen cycle?
Co2 is a greenhouse gas. It cause for global warming.
Does the greenhouse effect cause species get extinct?
yes it does
What two factors cause nitrogen oxide?
nitrogen and oxygen? are you dumb
Is natural gas the major cause of the greenhouse effect?
In terms of greenhouse effect, natural gas is more benign than coal or oil, because it provides a greater heating effect per unit of carbon dioxide produced. It is therefore not the major cause of the greenhouse effect.
How is the greenhouse effect the cause of the ozone layer depletion?
The greenhouse effect causes ozone depletion. Greenhouse doesn't let the heat escape, causing problems for ozone.
Is the depletion of ozone layer related with greenhouse effect?
The depletion of ozone layer causes UV to enter. they then cause greenhouse effect.
How does the greenhouse effect earth?
the greenhouse effect influences the earth by cause global warming. The reason why is because the greenhouse effect, traps heat in our atmosphere, causing the earth to heat more than usual.
Does earth radiating mostly infrared light cause the greenhouse effect?
Yes. The infrared radiation from the surface of the earth is captured by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This causes the greenhouse effect.
What gases cause global warming and how?
Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What is the other name for the greenhouse effect?
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 WarmingGlobal Climate ChangeClimate ChangeGreenhouse Gas Effect
How do trees help slow down greenhouse effect?
Trees help to slow down greenhouse effect as they absorb carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is a major green house gas and can cause greenhouse effect.
Can you suffocate from nitrogen?
By having a nitrogen atmosphere the body is starved of oxygen which will cause suffocation.
