Water vapor absorbs infrared heat in the atmosphere so it it classed as a greenhouse gas. However, man can not add water to the atmosphere, and water moves in and out of the atmosphere very quickly, so it can't be controlled. The natural water cycle is responsible for the movement of water and water vapor.
As carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases raise the temperature in the atmosphere more water vapor is able to rise into the atmosphere. This circular effect causes more warming than before.
What else can I help you with?
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
What do you call gases that retain heat within the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and potentially leading to global warming. Examples of greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
Greenhouse gases are -trapping gases?
Greenhouse gases are gases in the Earth's atmosphere that trap heat energy and contribute to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change. They include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen itself is not a greenhouse gas. It is a crucial component of the atmosphere and supports life on Earth. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.
What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?
A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.
How is ozone layer linked or related to pollution?
The ozone is depleted due to greenhouse gases. Pollution causes these greenhouse gases.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
What are the main greenhouse gases starting with a w or a v?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide are the main greenhouse gases.
Are Greenhouse gases caused by water vapour?
No, they are not.
What is the negative effect humans have on the stability of the environment is most directly linked to an increase in?
Pollution and greenhouse gases.
What do you call gases that retain heat within the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and potentially leading to global warming. Examples of greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
Greenhouse gases are -trapping gases?
Greenhouse gases are gases in the Earth's atmosphere that trap heat energy and contribute to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change. They include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
Is H20 a greenhouse gas?
No actually water is quite the opposite of a grrenhouse gas. Water acts like a giant sink that collects all the greenhouse gases in the air and buries it in the ocean. This is not very good for the fish and other animals that live in the sea becouse the gases that the water collects can poison the animals. This happens the same way that humans can get sick becouse of the dirty air. Sea animals breathe the water through their gills and the greenhouse gases that are in the water poison the animals.
Earth science Which gases in the atmosphere are greenhouse gas and which are not?
Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water vapor (H2O). The most abundant gases in the atmosphere that are not greenhouse gases are nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2).
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen itself is not a greenhouse gas. It is a crucial component of the atmosphere and supports life on Earth. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.
What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?
A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.
What do greenhouse gases contain?
Greenhouse gases are primarily composed of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water vapor (H2O). These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming and climate change.
