Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?

greenhouse effect


If the present greenhouse effect trend continues into the year 2100 earths annual average temperature could?

Due to the Greenhouse Effect, Earth's temperature is continually rising. If the trend does not change, the Earth's annual temperature will continue to rise, causing significant ecological problems.


How does the increase in carbon dioxide emissions affect the earths natural cycle of temperature cycle?

It raises the temperature and makes it hotter through the greenhouse effect.


What is a natural phenomenon that maintains earths temperature range?

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that maintains Earth's temperature range by trapping heat in the atmosphere. This process allows some of the sun's energy to enter the Earth's atmosphere while preventing some of the heat from escaping back into space.


What controls the climate and protects the Earth from harmful sun?

The atmosphere. The ozone layer absorbs UV radiation, and atmosphere also controls temperature through the greenhouse effect, which allows the earth's temperature to be suitable for life. If there was no greenhouse effect then the earths average temperature would be -14oC instead of the actual 15oC.


What is the temperature of it atmosphere is increased by the greenhouse effect?

Both Earth and Venus have increase temperature due to a greenhouse effect. Venus has a much stronger greenhouse effect than Earth does.


What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?

the greenhouse effect!


What would happen to earths atmosphere without the greenhouse effect?

Without the greenhouse effect, Earth's atmosphere would be much colder, making the planet uninhabitable for most forms of life. The greenhouse effect helps trap heat from the sun, maintaining a stable temperature range that supports life as we know it.


What controls the climate and protects the earth from harmful sun rays.?

The atmosphere. The ozone layer absorbs UV radiation, and atmosphere also controls temperature through the greenhouse effect, which allows the earth's temperature to be suitable for life. If there was no greenhouse effect then the earths average temperature would be -14oC instead of the actual 15oC.

What is the correlation of CO2 and temperature?

CO2 is a greenhouse gas. The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more greenhouse effect we will get. The greenhouse effect is when our atmosphere reflects heat trying to leave Earth back to it. We need some of this heat back, but if we get too much of the greenhouse effect, global temperatures will keep rising higher and higher.


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.
