What countries have the least amount of oil?
There are lots of countries that produce no oil. However, the country with the actual lowest amount of oil production is Panama with 2 barrels a day.
How many countries is on the continent with the least amount of country?
Technically, Antarctica has the least number of countries with 0. However, South America has the least number of countries of any continent with countries with 12.
What continent has the least amount of countries in it?
Antartica
What continent has the least amount of different countries?
South America has 12 countries but North America only has 10 countries
What continent has the least number of landlocked countries?
Antarctica contains zero countries. North America has countries, but none of them are landlocked.
What greenhouse gases has been impacting the climate for the least amount of time?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are the newest of the greenhouse gases
What region has the least greenhouse gases?
The warmth of the sun and the global winds mix the greenhouse gases all round the world, so there is nowhere that has more, or less of the greenhouse gases.
What globe out of the CFL and the incandescent releases the least amount of greenhouse gases?
Neither type release greenhouse gasses
which type of power production produces the least amount of greenhouse gases?
nuclear
Is hydrogen a greenhouse gas?
No, hydrogen has only two atoms (H2). Greenhouse gases need at least three atoms, like carbon dioxide (CO2), for example.
Which cooking fuel is least likely to contribute to the greenhouse effect?
The cooking fuel that is the "dirtiest" has to be coal. This fuel source produces the most greenhouse gases than any of the "-tane" fuels.
Is O2 a greenhouse gas?
No, it isn't. Water vapour, though, is a greenhouse gas. To be greenhouse gas the molecule must have a strong absorbence in the IR frequencies of light. Neither oxygen nor nitrogen (the major gases in the atmosphere) have this characteristic. To be a greenhouse gas the molecule must have at least three atoms. Water vapor is the most prevalent greenhouse gas in every measurable way. Carbon dioxide comes in a distant second with 0.04% of the atmosphere and about 5% of all warming. The rest of the gases that are involved are even more removed from the major gases in terms of warming and concentrations.
How would greenhouse gases retain energy in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse Gases (water, carbon dioxide, methane, SF6 etc.) are made up of at least two molecules. The bond size between the atoms in the molecules is such that it can absorb heat more easily than other molecules. When solar energy comes to the atmosphere they absorb the solar energy as heat then radiate it to other atmospheric (non-greenhouse) gases such as nitrogen and oxygen..
What has been done to save Antarctica from melting?
Some "greenhouse gases" have been reduced (or at least attempts have been made to limit their production in the future).
What happens when the sun's heat warms the earth and the infrared radiation goes up into the atmosphere and is trapped by the greenhouse gases?
The greenhouse gases hold the heat. This heat warms the atmosphere around and also back down to the surface of the earth. As more fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt, more greenhouse gases are emitted and the atmosphere gets warmer. This is called global warming, which is causing climate change.
Why was the greenhouse effect not a problem in the fast?
Greenhouse gases have been a problem in the past, but he main reason why we're so concerned about them now is that humans are contributing to greenhouse gases more now than ever before. We are burning fuels for factories and cars, and all of human activities have had an increased use of energy as the years have gone by, what with new technology such as laptops, TVs, and so on... The population explosion and the increases in standard of living for nearly everybody creates an exponential increase in the use of resources not least of which are the fuels and other chemicals that are or turn into greenhouse gases.
How do you know whether a gas is greenhouse gas i.e how a greenhouse gas is different from non-greenhouse gas?
A greenhouse gas is a gas (with at least three atoms) that traps heat inside the earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and methane. It is important that some heat is trapped inside our atmosphere - otherwise the earth would freeze. But too much heat has a negative impact on the climate.
