What does carbon dioxide produced by planes do?
It damages the environment by adding to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.Greenhouse gases are responsible for the greenhouse effect, which keeps the planet warm.Additional gases from the burning of fossil fuels are producing the enhanced greenhouse effect which is warming the planet.
What is the connection between the cutting of Brazilian rainforest and greenhouse efffect?
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!
What intensifies the greenhouse effect?
Adding additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere intensifies the greenhouse effect. We are doing this by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which releases carbon dioxide.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Which term is defined as an indicator of how people affect the emissions of greenhouse gases in the environment?
Carbon footprint is the term defined as an indicator of how people affect the emissions of greenhouse gases in the environment. It measures the total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly and indirectly to support human activities.
Is the atmosphere fixable?
We can fix the atmosphere by stopping adding greenhouse gases to it. To do this we have to change to renewable energy and replant the great forests of the world.
Do greenhouse gases cause global warming?
Yes. Greenhouse gases capture the sun's heat and warm the atmosphere. We are adding these gases by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere). This extra greenhouse gas is causing the extra warming that is global warming.
How does the addition of more greenhouse gases over time affect earths average temperature?
Greenhouse gases absorb heat rising from the suface of the earth. The more greenhouse gases there are, the more heat is absorbed. This is what is happening now. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), we are adding extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and this is causing global warming.
The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of?
The planet(s) through solar radiation and the retention of a small portion of this heat through atmospheric gases. The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mostly water vapor and carbon dioxide. This is a natural effect that has gone on for millions of years. The enhanced greenhouse effect, what we are experiencing now, is caused by the warming of the extra greenhouse gases that man is adding to the atmosphere, largely by burning fossil fuels, and by deforestation.
How do you use the words 'greenhouse gases' in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
