What natural warming of both earth lower atmosphere and the earths surface is the blank effect?

greenhouse effect


What effect occurs as solar radiation is absorbed by the Earths surface and re-radiated into the atmosphere where it gets trapped and warms the Earth?

The effect that occurs when solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-radiated into the atmosphere, where it gets trapped, is known as the greenhouse effect. This process involves greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation, which warms the atmosphere and the Earth's surface. While this natural phenomenon is essential for maintaining a habitable climate, human activities have intensified the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.


Why is Co2 is a greenhouse gas?

CO2 is a greenhouse gas because it absorbs and traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. When sunlight hits the Earth's surface, some of the heat is reflected back into space as infrared radiation. CO2 molecules in the atmosphere absorb this infrared radiation, preventing it from escaping into space and thus leading to a warming effect.


What is the ability of the Earths atmosphere to trap heat and keep us warm?

The Earth's atmosphere traps heat through a process called the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere absorb and trap heat radiating from the Earth's surface, keeping the planet warm enough to support life. However, human activities have increased the concentration of these gases, leading to enhanced warming known as global warming.


What are the Benefits of Natural Greenhouse Gases?

one pro is that it helps regulate earths temperature, but with fossil fuals which emites greenhouse gases it makes earth get hotter. and that's how you get global warming.

What is gradual warming of Earth's surface?

The gradual warming of earths surface is called global warming.


When heated earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?

infrared radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. This process helps trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.


What is called an unnatural warming of the atmosphere near earths surface?

An unnatural warming of the atmosphere near Earth's surface is called global warming or anthropogenic climate change. This phenomenon is primarily caused by human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and leading to a rise in global temperatures.

What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?

the greenhouse


Why is Carbon-Oxygen2 important for the earths atmosphere?

It is not, because the greenhouse affect causes global warming.


What part of earths surface involves both chemical and physical change?

What is the trapping of heat near a planet's surface by certain gases in the planet's atmosphere?

We call it the greenhouse effect, which is natural, or the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.


Is the greenhouse effect more pronounced for florists or earths surface?

The greenhouse effect is more pronounced for the earth's surface. Heat rising from the surface is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases heat the air around them as well, also, as the earth' surface again.


What heats earths atmosphere?

The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.


When carbon dioxide traps heat in the earths atmosphere?

This is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and trap heat from the sun, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface. This phenomenon is essential for maintaining Earth's temperature but human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have increased the concentration of these gases and intensified the greenhouse effect, causing global warming.
