The Greenhouse effect is an ongoing cyclic event. It takes hundreds of thousands of years for one cycle. We are currently on the sixth known warming cycle we have data on.

Without this effect the planet would be very cold and dead.

How does the greenhouse effect on earth help in the water cycle process?

It will take in more water from water bodies because the temperature increase and the rate of evaporation also increase.The ice from the south pole will melt and cause flood but because of greenhouse effect the water that causes flood will evaporate.


Which process is most responsible for the temperature changes that will take place?

The process most responsible for temperature changes is the greenhouse effect, where certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface.


How can forests add to global cooling?

Forests take in carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) and liberate oxygen ( O2 ). Carbon dioxide is the cause of greenhouse effect which causes global warming. Hence, if they are more forests then more carbon dioxide is absorbed and there is less of greenhouse effect thus overall global cooling.


How does the enhanced greenhouse effect help us?

The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming, which is leading to an increase in average global temperatures. This effect is critical for sustaining life on Earth by keeping the planet warm enough to support life. However, it has been exacerbated by human activities, leading to concerns about the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, weather patterns, and sea levels.


Is a bottle a good model of the natural greenhouse effect in the atmosphere?

Yes, cause there are different types of plants that have to have different tempuatures, climates, and stuff like that. And also there are different ways to take care of your plant, like if a plant is from Arizona, you don't give it cold and snow and tons of water, or like a plant from Wisconsin, you don't give it tons of sun and no water. That's my answer.

Is there pictures of the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is merely a process of trapping carbon inside the earths atmosphere causing the earth to heat up. You can't take a picture of air can you?

How will solar energy effect our world?

solar energy will effect our world because it will stop the greenhouse effect from growing -SmartyPants411-Did you also know painting your roof white will reduce greenhouse effect??? If everyone in the U.S. painted their roof white, greenhouse effect would be reduced enough to take back all emissions done in 2008.

How long does it take for small sunflowers to grow in a greenhouse?

Sunflowers may not grow in a greenhouse because it requires constant sunlight and hence it may not grow


How long will it take for a one year VIP on moviestarplnet take to process?

It typically takes 24-48 hours for something to process on www.moviestarplanet.com. A one year VIP, once purchased, should only take 48 hours, max, to go into effect.


How does planting trees help reduce the greenhouse effect?

Trees sequester (store) carbon for long periods of time. When the tree dies, or is burned up in a fire, that carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Trees harvested for lumber continue storing most of the carbon they have sequestered.


What are the effects of combustion and deforestation and how do they relate to the greenhouse effect?

Combustion (burning) of any material usually releases carbon dioxide, as carbon is such a major component of everything on earth. Deforestation (removal of trees) means that the trees are no longer able to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases retaining warmth from the sun. Any increase of greenhouse gases (as carbon dioxide is) leads to a warming in the atmosphere.


How long does it take for dewormer to take effect in cats?

Dewormer typically takes about 24-48 hours to take effect in cats.


How long does it take for Demerol tablets to take effect?

about a half an hour

Why are so many scientists so worried about the greenhouse effect today?

Climate scientists have studied the effects the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming and they are worried. They are worried because they have spread the message to the world but very few governments are prepared to take serious steps to combat the problem.
