Technically ANY and all human activity causes the production of CO2. When you breathe you produce this gas. The MAJOR producers of greenhouse gas (of which man's total production is small) include the heating and cooling of homes and buildings partly through the generation of electricity (roughly 50% of our production), then Transportation (roughly 30%). The remaining 20% is spread around pretty wide. From the creation of food and medicine to using the internet.

Any combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect. Some greenhouse activities are driving cars and industry. Although there are many, many more.

What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earths surface bends light rays?

greenhouse effect


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.


Which gas is produced as a waste product by combustion and by respiration and is also a 'greenhouse gas'?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas produced as a waste product by combustion and respiration. It is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming.


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.

The storage of heat in the lower layer of the atmosphere produced by certain heat absorbing gases is called the?

The storage of heat in the lower layer of the atmosphere produced by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. This effect traps heat near the Earth's surface, leading to warming of the planet.


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

greenhouse effect


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.


What heat is caused by the greenhouse effect?

Global warming in the atmosphere is the heat caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases produced by industrial factories are the main causes of greenhouse effects.


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.


Is the fallowing sentence true or false the greenhouse effect is a natural process?

The greenhouse gases present in the earths atmosphere are both naturally produced and man made. The natural greenhouse gases (methane, water vapour, carbon dioxide) make the Earth warmer than it would be without the Greenhouse effect (this allows it to be habitable). The addition of man made greenhouse gases (methane, carbon dioxide and a few others) increases the temperature past the natural levels. SO the greenhouse effect is both natural and a result of human activities. If you consider the opposite of a "natural effect" to be a "supernatural effect" resulting from gods, devils or ghosts -the greenhouse effect is natural with no supernatural contribution.
