Yes-- without the Green House Effect, Earth's avg temperature would be 60 degrees F cooler, and our oceans would be frozen.
You would freeze. The earth would be pretty well frozen over. The average surface temperature would be about -4 degrees Fahrenheit if there were no greenhouse effect.

Without greenhouse gases keeping the planet warm we would all be frozen, yes, and die.
70 percent of earths freshwater?
Is frozen in the poles
What is most of the earths fresh water locked up in?
Glaciers. Or frozen ice caps.
What two things forms precipation that returns water to earths surface?
Snow, rain and its frozen form, hail, are the names you seek. There is a fourth kind of precipitation called virga, which is rain precipitated from a cloud, but which fails to reach the ground.
Approximately what percent of the Earths hydrosphere is contained in frozen ice such as glaciers and polar icecaps?
2%
How much of the earths surface is frozen?
Less than 5%.
What is a permanently frozen layer below the earths surface that starts with p?

If there was no greenhouse effect would you burn or freeze?

What absorbs the energy that is radiated from earths surface?
Certain gases like water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide return heat to the Earth. Fortunately, too, as this action keeps us from being frozen solid. The majority of heat, though, is reflected out into space.
How does wind and water alter the Earths surface?
Wind and water and frozen water are the main contributors to the weathering and erosion of the surface of the Earth. Along with gravity, these agents wear down elevated surface features and fill in depressed surface features.

How much of earths water is frozen water?
A bit less than 2% of the worlds water is frozen. Antarctica accounts for about 80% of the worlds fresh water.
What percent of earths crust is frozen?
About 2%.
How does the atmosphere prevent us from being frozen to death?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere help trap heat emitted from the Earth, otherwise the temperature of Earth's surface would be below zero.
Why salt is scattered on frozen surface?
Salt is scattered on a frozen surface to melt the ice.
