They do. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere retain heat rising from the surface of the earth and stop it escaping into space. This keeps the earth comfortably warm and has done for thousands of years.
Greenhouse gases stop the transmission of infrared rays. These are the rays which carry heat away from the earth, and therefore an increase in greenhouse gases results in global warming.
Infrared radiation rising from the surface of the earth.
They stop heat from escaping the atmosphere- apex
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in global temperatures through the greenhouse effect. This can result in climate change, rising sea levels, more frequent and intense natural disasters, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity.
stop cuting down trees stop useing alot of electrisatey
We can't lessen their effect. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the earth's surface. We can't change that. What we CAN do is reduce the amount of greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere. To do this we have to stop burning fossil fuels. Solar and wind power are now cheaper than fossil fuels and have no harmful emissions. We have to move to renewable energy.
The rain-forests are important to the environment because they filter gases, such as carbon and methane, common greenhouse gases, in the atmosphere. Without them, there is nothing to stop the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases then trap more heat, adding to global warming. THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT!
You cannot stop the greenhouse effect. This is because the greenhouse effect is a direct result of the earth having an atmosphere, most notably because of the atmosphere containing carbon dioxide.I suppose this means that if you really wanted to stop the greenhouse effect, you'd have to remove all carbon dioxide from the air, along with all other greenhouse gases - which would be difficult.
Yes you are all of the human kind is. When they drive cars and stuff like that.So you should walk even if it's cold.To stop greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases stop heat from escaping the atmosphere. This natural greenhouse effect has kept our planet warm for millions of years. The earth's carbon and water cycles move carbon dioxide and water vapor in and out of the atmosphere constantly.Greenhouse gases (any gas with 3 or more atoms) will trap the sun's infrared radiation (heat) being radiated by the Earth's surface, and prevent it from escaping back into space. This heat from the warmed up gases is also re-radiated in all directions, including back down to the earth's surface, which warms some more.At present man-made greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, are causing an accelerated greenhouse effect. The natural carbon cycle is unable to cope with the extra CO2 which remains in the atmosphere gathering heat, and causing global warming.A:The more greenhouse gases there are, the worse the heating gets.
We don't want to stop the natural greenhouse effect, which keeps the earth warm enough for life. We can stop the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. But we have to act now and seriously, to move to renewable energy, stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and replant billions of trees.
No, it isn't. Water vapour, though, is a greenhouse gas. To be greenhouse gas the molecule must have a strong absorbence in the IR frequencies of light. Neither oxygen nor nitrogen (the major gases in the atmosphere) have this characteristic. To be a greenhouse gas the molecule must have at least three atoms. Water vapor is the most prevalent greenhouse gas in every measurable way. Carbon dioxide comes in a distant second with 0.04% of the atmosphere and about 5% of all warming. The rest of the gases that are involved are even more removed from the major gases in terms of warming and concentrations.
