Anything organic in trash (anything that once was living, like plants and animals) will rot, especially in landfill. If it rots aerobically (in the presence of air) it produces carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas that is the main cause of global warming. If organic garbage rots anaerobically (without any air around it) it produces methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more powerful than carbon dioxide (though methane degrades after seven years, whereas carbon dioxide stays around for hundreds of years).
What else can I help you with?
What is thought to the cause of global climate change?
Greenhouse gases A+
How does minimizing rocket flights protect the ozone layer?
Rocket fuel contain greenhouse gases which cause ozone depletion. Minimizing them will do benefit.
How do greenhouse gasses impact the ozone layer?
Greenhouse gases cause global warming on earth. This global warming can cause ozone depletion.
How might greenhouse gases cause climatic changes?
The build up of greenhouse gases is trapping more heat, causing global warming and climate change.
What is the fuel use to affect ozone layer?
Fuels release greenhouse gases. These gases can cause ozone depletion.
What is the name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
The name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming is Greenhouse gases.
What is the name that gives gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
Greenhouse gasses are the cause of Global Warming.
What are the green gases?
They are not green gases, they are called greenhouse gases and they cause global warming.
How will greenhouse gases affect your children?
Greenhouse gases can cause ozone depletion. This depletion can affect children's skin easily.
What is cause of globalwarming?
Greenhouse gases. Deforestation may also cause it.
Which would not reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the air using electric cars increasing fuel efficiency using solar power burning trash at landfills?
Burning trash at landfills would not reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the air. In fact, it can release harmful pollutants and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to environmental issues. Electric cars and using solar power are more sustainable and environmentally friendly methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
What is thought to the cause of global climate change?
Greenhouse gases A+
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 difference between the ozone layer and greenhouse gases?
Ozone layer protects us from UV rays. Greenhouse gases cause global warming.
Why specific gases cause greenhouse effect?
There are many gases that cause "greenhouse effects". Water Vapour Carbon dioxide Methane Nitrous Oxide Ozone Chloroflourocarbons (CFC's) are just a few.
How does minimizing rocket flights protect the ozone layer?
Rocket fuel contain greenhouse gases which cause ozone depletion. Minimizing them will do benefit.
What are the two most common greenhouse gases?
the two major gases that cause greenhouse gases are methane and carbon dioxideco2, methene, evaporates
