Which planet has an atmosphere like to earth's?
None in our solar system. Scientists believe that Venus might have has one like ours millions of years ago, before a 'runaway' greenhouse effect occurred.
What is the link between greenhouse effect and global warming?
Global warming is the direct result of the greenhouse effect. Without carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to act as a greenhouse gas, the world would be some 30 degrees colder than at present and life as we know it would be impossible. So the greenhouse effect is essential for human existence. It is the anthropogenic increase in greenhouse gases that is now causing concern. The present average global temperature is just about right for human comfort and civilisation. Greenhouse gas emissions are contributing to a rise in average global temperatures to a point that will have serious economic and social impacts on our lifestyle.
If the Earth were closer to the Sun the intense heat might evaporate the oceans and create an atmosphere similar to the atmosphere of which planet?
The answer that you are looking for is "Venus". That planet has a dense atmosphere of CO2, which has produced a runaway greenhouse effect. When the Earth ocean evaporate, as in this scenario, all of the dissolved CO2 will be liberated and end up in the atmosphere as well, giving us a Venus like greenhouse.
What impact might the greenhouse effect have on temperature changes?
The impact the greenhouse effect have on temperature is to increase the chance of global warming. If you burn too many woods, carbondioxide layer forms at the outer space of earth and that carbondioxide gas stops the radiation. It basically stops the heat from going to space, instead it will reflect the heat backagain to earth and that cause global warming because the earth gets warmer.
Why does the greenhouse effect on Mars not diminish?
There is a greenhouse effect on Mars, but a small one. With all that Carbon Dioxide in Mars' atmosphere (96.5%), you might expect to find a runaway greenhouse effect like that on Venus, but it is not the case. The atmospheric density on Mars is so low that the carbon dioxide creates only a minor greenhouse effect. And Mars is so cold that clouds of dry ice (frozen CO2) and some water crystals drift about in the Martian atmosphere.
How might the photosynthetic organisms counter the greenhouse effect?
Photosynthetic organisms counter the greenhouse effect. This is because plants use carbon dioxide and turns it into oxygen instead. Carbon dioxide is causing the greenhouse effect.
A climatic condition that might benefit Russia in the future is?
greenhouse effect
How might cutting down a large percentage of earths forests affect the greenhouse affect?
it will make the earth hotter
Why might an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases be concern?
Because it is all but certain that this increase will be extremely detrimental to the Earth's Future. Additional greenhouse gases are causing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Why might a very hot rock might not melt?
A very hot rock might not melt if it has a high melting point due to its mineral composition or if it has low heat conduction and is unable to reach its melting temperature despite being surrounded by heat. Additionally, pressure conditions can also affect the melting point of a rock.
The greenhouse effect might be caused by the increase of?
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which trap heat and prevent it from escaping into space. This trapped heat warms the Earth's surface and contributes to global warming.
What other gases might increase the greenhouse effect?
There are 5 major greenhouse gasses: water vapour, carbon dioxide (also known as CO2), methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Water vapour is the strongest greenhouse gas but it happens largely naturally (ie ocean water evaporates when the sun shines on it). The other four are largely anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gasses. See chart linked below for detailed information on greenhouse gasses (GHG's) and their contribution to the greenhouse effect.
Can vampires effect human beings?
They might, they might not. They don't exist, so we don't know whether they affect human beings, and, if they do, how they affect human beings.
What is the natural greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere and how humans might be contributing to its effect?
Natural greenhouse effect is good because it keeps the Earth warm and habitable using natural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Although when there is a "build-up" of these gases, the sun's energy (from sunlight) is trapped between the atmosphere and Earth's surface allowing energy to enter but making it extremely difficult to get out. Thus resulting in a warmer than normal Earth.
The greenhouse effect is making the earth warmer colder or windier?
The greenhouse effect is making the Earth warmer overall. This however is not apparent to the casual local observer as the changing weather patterns resulting from the same overall warming may make some areas warmer, some colder, some wetter and some drier.
How have glaciers might of effect Florida?
They did not affect Florida- never came that far South.
How mutations might affect the traits of an animal?
it could alter the way the animal moves and how the body works
