As far as CO2 is involved, Photosynthesis is by far and away the Best method of carbon capture and STORAGE [within Earth's Soil] that We Possess; and this [as well as any, every and all forms of ] Removal of CO2 from Our paper thin Atmosphere is what We Desire Most.

Why is photosynthesis the only process that can combat the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect does not have to be combatted, as it usefully keeps the earth warm. But we have to stop the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. The only process that can combat the enhanced greenhouse effect is photosynthesis, trees and plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


How did the greenhouse effect helps to moderate earths temperatures?

The greenhouse effect helps moderate Earth's temperatures by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Solar radiation from the sun warms the Earth's surface, and some of this heat is re-radiated back into space. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb and re-emit some of this heat, preventing it from escaping entirely. This process maintains a stable temperature range that supports life on Earth.


The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?

The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere trap heat radiating from the planet's surface, leading to a warming effect.


How does the greenhouse effect helps to moderate earths temperatures?

The greenhouse effect helps moderate Earth's temperatures by trapping heat in the atmosphere. When sunlight reaches the Earth's surface, some of it is absorbed and then re-radiated as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb this infrared radiation and re-emit it in all directions, including back towards the surface. This process keeps the planet warm enough to support life by maintaining a stable temperature range.


The natural situation in which heat is retained by the atmosphere is the?

the greenhouse effect

Which planet has a MODERATE greenhouse effect?

Earth has a moderate greenhouse effect, while Venus has a severe case, with surface temperatures of 400-500 degrees C.

Plants counteract the greenhouse effect by removing what during photosynthesis.?

Plants counteract the greenhouse effect by removing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. This process helps to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mitigating global warming and climate change.


Photosyntheic organisms may counter the greenhouse effect by?

By removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.


How is the greenhouse effect related to photosynthesis?

The only relation there is between the two is carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Too much of it in the atmosphere causes the 'greenhouse effect' whereby the earth warms. In the photosynthesis process CO2 is captured from the atmosphere and, with the help of sunlight (and water in the case of plants) turned into organic compounds. A waste product of this process is oxygen.


How does photosynthesis help minimise the enhanced greenhouse effect?

¨During the photosynthesis process the plant takes in some carbon dioxide from the air and uses it during the rest of the process. When the plant inhales the carbon dioxide it means that there is less of it in the air. This means that there is less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the enhanced greenhouse effect is reduced.


Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?

greenhouse effect


What planet has more greenhouse effect?

Venus has the most pronounced greenhouse effect in our solar system. Its thick atmosphere is composed mostly of carbon dioxide, which traps heat and creates a runaway greenhouse effect, resulting in extreme temperatures of up to 900°F (475°C) on the surface.


Which process reverses the greenhouse gas effect in the atmosphere?

Photosynthesis, where plants absorb carbon dioxide, store the carbon and release the oxygen.

The greenery and more oxygen is due to greenhouse effect?

Actually, the increase in greenery and oxygen levels is a result of photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. The greenhouse effect, on the other hand, refers to the trapping of heat in the Earth's atmosphere by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.


What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
