The greenhouse effect is caused by the trapping of heat in the Earth's atmosphere by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. These gases absorb and re-radiate infrared radiation emitted from the Earth's surface, preventing it from escaping back into space. This process helps to maintain the planet’s temperature, making it suitable for life. However, human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have increased the concentration of these gases, intensifying the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.

Which form of heat transfer is caused by the green houses effect?
Radiation is the form of heat transfer that is caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide is an example of a greenhouse gas.
How are greenhouse gases caused by the sun?
Greenhouse gases like water vapour, carbon dioxide, and methane are not caused by the sun. They are warmed by the sun and they hold the heat to keep the earth warm. This is called the greenhouse effect.
Is the greenhouse effect caused solely by humans?
No, there is a natural greenhouse effect which has kept the earth warm for millions of years. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, humans are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Is global warming a result of human activities. Has this been an addition to the greenhouse effect?
The Earth has always has a greenhouse effect, it has kept our planet warmer than it should have been given its albedo and distance from the sun. The present concern is due to the enhanced greenhouse effect caused by the emission of carbon dioxide and a limited number of other gases into the atmosphere due to human activities.
Is global warming another term for the greenhouse effect?
No. The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gasses, called greenhouse gasses, help to trap heat within Earth's atmosphere. This effect has been in place for as long as Earth has had an atmosphere and is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the planet would freeze over. Global warming is primarily the result of an enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by extra geenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere.
What form of heat is caused by the greenhouse effect?
There are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection and radiation. The heat transfer caused by the greenhouse effect is radiation.
Which form of heat transfer is caused by the green houses effect?
Radiation is the form of heat transfer that is caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide is an example of a greenhouse gas.
Does the greenhouse effect only effect the Venus?
No. That's what global warming is caused by.
Does a planet need atmosphere to have a Greenhouse Effect?
Yes. The greenhouse effect is caused by gasses that block thermal radiation from a planet's surface.
Is the greenhouse effect natural or human caused event?
both
What are some aspects that ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect have in common?
There are important aspects of ozone depletion and greenhouse effect. They are caused by same sources.
The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of?
The planet(s) through solar radiation and the retention of a small portion of this heat through atmospheric gases. The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mostly water vapor and carbon dioxide. This is a natural effect that has gone on for millions of years. The enhanced greenhouse effect, what we are experiencing now, is caused by the warming of the extra greenhouse gases that man is adding to the atmosphere, largely by burning fossil fuels, and by deforestation.
What are the two types of greenhouse effect?
The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation) leads to global warming and climate change.(There is also the very dangerous runaway greenhouse effect that happened on Venus.)
How is the greenhouse effect caused on a molecular level?
The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat from the sun. These gases absorb infrared radiation emitted by Earth's surface, preventing some of the heat from escaping into space. This results in a warming effect on the planet.
What heat is caused by the greenhouse effect?
Global warming in the atmosphere is the heat caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases produced by industrial factories are the main causes of greenhouse effects.
What type of global warming is it?
The dangerous type caused by the enhanced greenhouse effect.
What form of heat transfer is caused by the greenhouse effect?
There are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection and radiation. The heat transfer caused by the greenhouse effect is radiation.
