Air pollution and the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) into the troposphere trap solar radiation that comes in from the sun and bounces off of the earth's surface as terrestrial radiation. Typically, the radiation would escape into space, but due to the presence of these gases, the radiation is trapped and re-radiates the earth's surface effecting the earth's temperature.
Understanding the greenhouse effect can help farmers understand the level of impact they have on the environment. The majority of methane released into the atmosphere is found in manure from livestock (such as cows) due to the developing worlds' issues with over-consumption and waste (especially in the U.S.).
What else can I help you with?
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
Why are studies of volcanoes helpful to scientists who wish to understand the greenhouse effect?
Volcanoes, like the burning of fossil fuels, are also a source of the primary greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
How do you use The greenhouse effect in a sentence?
the greenhouse effect is a global phenomenon.
What do humans do to effect the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect keeps us all warm enough for life.The enhanced greenhouse effect causes global warming.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere trap heat radiating from the planet's surface, leading to a warming effect.
The natural situation in which heat is retained by the atmosphere is the?
the greenhouse effect
What planet has an atmosphere with a greenhouse effect?
EarthVenusMarsThe greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, there is a runaway greenhouse effect causing temperatures high enough to melt lead.Mars has a greenhouse effect that is weak because of its thin atmosphere.
What is another name for enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".
What does the greenhouse effect help do?
The normal greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect, is causing global warming.
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.
Does a planet need an atmosphere to have an Greenhouse Effect?
Yes, there must be greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Without a greenhouse effect the planet would be unable to sustain life. The greenhouse effect is required for life as we know it.
