Carbon Dioxide (chemical formula: CO2), contributes to the Greenhouse Effect when burnt. Try burning something and if the substance you have burnt turns black it contains Carbon Dioxide.

Does paraffin contribute to the greenhouse effect?

Yes, paraffin is produced from petroleum, a fossil fuel. It contains carbon dioxide from millions of years ago, so when it is burnt it adds to the normal greenhouse effect which has become overwhelmed by all the extra carbon dioxide. The normal greenhouse effect is now warming into the accelerated greenhouse effect.


How is the greenhouse effect the cause of the ozone layer depletion?

The greenhouse effect causes ozone depletion. Greenhouse doesn't let the heat escape, causing problems for ozone.


Is natural gas the major cause of the greenhouse effect?

In terms of greenhouse effect, natural gas is more benign than coal or oil, because it provides a greater heating effect per unit of carbon dioxide produced. It is therefore not the major cause of the greenhouse effect.


How does the greenhouse effect earth?

the greenhouse effect influences the earth by cause global warming. The reason why is because the greenhouse effect, traps heat in our atmosphere, causing the earth to heat more than usual.


What gases cause global warming and how?

Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.


How do trees help slow down greenhouse effect?

Trees help to slow down greenhouse effect as they absorb carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is a major green house gas and can cause greenhouse effect.


What does the greenhouse effect have to do with the Carbon cycle and the Oxygen cycle?

Co2 is a greenhouse gas. It cause for global warming.


What would most likely cause the green house effect?

A greenhouse.


Does the greenhouse effect cause species get extinct?

The greenhouse effect itself does not directly cause species to go extinct. However, the resulting climate change caused by an enhanced greenhouse effect can lead to changes in habitats and ecosystems that can threaten the survival of certain species, potentially contributing to extinction.


Does the ozone layer cause problems with the green house effect?

Yes, it does. Ozone depletion can cause greenhouse effect and thus global warming.


Does Ethanol contribute to the greenhouse effect?

Ethanol is a biofuel produced from vegetable matter. When the crop grows, it removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When the biofuel is burnt, that same carbon dioxide is released. So ethanol, basically, is carbon-neutral and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.


How does the Greenhouse effect cause a change in the earth axis tilt angle?

It doesn't! The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life by keeping warm gases in the atmosphere. It has no effect on the tilt of the earth.
