I am taking earth science too

I am pretty good at it

1. visible light

2. radio waves

3. gamma radiation

4. infrared radiation

4 is your answer because it is talking about heat, and infrared waves are the same as simply saying heat.

Carbon dioxide is transparent to the short-wavelength heat and light that arrive from the Sun (which has a surface temperature of 6000 degrees) to heat the surface of the Earth, but it blocks reradiation from the Earth, which occurs at a longer wavelength because the temperature is much lower. That is called the greenhouse effect.

How does temperature affect the growth and yield of crops?

When annual temperatures increase sharply above the ideal crop temperature, it can cause a decrease in a crop's yield. Likewise, other factors like an increase in carbon dioxide levels can cause an increase in the growth of crops.


Room temperature is about 25 degrees Which substance is a gas at room temperature?

carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium, hydrogen- these are just a few.


What might happen to carbon dioxide levels in Earths atmosphere if ultraviolet radiation increases?

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas (GHG). It traps heat in our atmosphere, causing the planet's temperature to increase. This increase will result in the spread of tropical diseases, flooding of low lying areas, more frequent and violent storms, increased desertification of some areas, and other long term economic hardships. 350 parts per million (ppm) is considered by many scientists to be close to the maximum sustainable level for CO2. We will pass 400 ppm in 2015, and levels will continue to rise for decades to come. We don't know all the bad things that will happen, but we are sure to find out.


How much flatus is produced in a day?

On average, a person produces about 0.5 to 1.5 liters of flatus each day, which can vary based on diet, gut microbiota, and individual digestive health. This gas is primarily composed of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and sometimes methane. Factors such as the consumption of certain foods, such as beans and cruciferous vegetables, can increase gas production.


What do yeast glucose and water result in?

The yeast will break down the glucose which produces Carbon dioxide + Ethanol + Energy during anaerobic respiration and the process is also known as 'fermentation'. Carbon dioxide and Ethanol are the waste products. During aerobic respiration, the yeast will produce the same products as we produce such as Carbon dioxide, water and energy.

What is increase in Earth's average temperature from the buildup of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphe?

That is called Global Warming.


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 warming is the predicted increase in Earth's average temperature caused by human activities emitting greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.


What is the increase in earths average temperature from the buildup of carbon dioxided other gases in the atmosphere called?

This increase in Earth's average temperature is called global warming. It is caused by the buildup of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which trap heat and lead to a gradual rise in global temperatures.


What compound has caused an increase in global temperature?

Carbon dioxide (CO2).


Can Greenhouse gases change Earth's average surface temperature?

Yes. They can and they do. Any increase in the level of carbon dioxide or methane in the atmosphere will result in an increase in average global temperatures. This typically results in evaporation of additional water vapour, creating a slight amplifier effect, to further increase surface temperatures.


What is an rapid rise in earths average temperature caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

An rapid rise in Earth's average temperature caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is known as global warming. This excess carbon dioxide comes from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to an increase in temperatures worldwide.


What can act like a long-term thermostat for the Earth's average temperature?

The presence of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can act as a long-term thermostat for the Earth's average temperature by trapping heat from the sun and preventing it from escaping into space. This leads to a gradual increase in global temperatures, known as global warming.


What statement best describes how carbon dioxide and Earth and average temperature are related?

Carbon dioxide acts as a greenhouse gas, trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere and leading to an increase in average temperature. As we continue to release more carbon dioxide through human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, this can intensify the greenhouse effect and contribute to global warming.


What is the rise in temperature due to an increase in carbon dioxide called?

The increase in temperature due to elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat from the Sun, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface.


How can a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase Earth's global temperature?

When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.


What is the effect of compression on carbon dioxide?

Mainly that its density will increase. Its temperature will also increase yet this 'extra' heat will dissipate, or disperse.


How will an increase in carbon dioxide most likely affect earth?

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that in normal concentrations helps keep the earth at a comfortable temperature, suitable for human existence. Scientists tell us that the increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide since pre-industrial times has been accompanied by a gradual increase in average global temperatures. They warn that the rate of increase is rising rapidly and will result in extreme global warming and climate change unless we reduce our carbon dioxide emissions.
