What gas is responsible for the greenhouse effect during global warming?
The gas which we can do most to prevent, and the one that is causing the increase in temperatures, is carbon dioxide.
Which gas is primarily responsible for causing the greenhouse effect?
Although water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas, the heat trapping gas that has been increasing most recently is carbon dioxide, and research indicates this gas is the one primarily responsible for measured increases in earth's average temperature.
Why are the reasons you experience seasons and changes in daylight hours in the northern hemisphere?
When Winter turns to Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, temperatures seem to increase on average. This is because Earth evolves around the Sun at an angle; and during the summer part of the revolution, the northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun, causing it to get hotter and temperatures to increase.
What is the increase of co2 causing?
The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming and climate change.
What is responsible for causing accretion?
gravitation
How does global warming effect chimpanzees?
Global warming may eventually be responsible for the loss of 50 percent of chimpanzee habitat. Rising temperatures mean the chimps have to rest more, causing them to eat less.
What is the causing of the rising temperatures of the Pacific Ocean?
la nina
A pathogen is an agent that is?
responsible for causing disease
Which organism is responsible for causing malaria?
anopheles mosquito
Is Genetics solely responsible for causing the aging process?
No.
Which gas is mainly responsible for the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect contains two different components: the natural greenhouse effect, and the enhanced greenhouse effect that results from human activities and is the cause of global warming.Water vapour is the most plentiful greenhouse gas and is mainly responsible for the natural greenhouse effect that maintains the world at a comfortable temperature suitable for human existence. Carbon dioxide also plays an important part in this natural greenhouse effect.Carbon dioxide is mainly responsible for the enhanced greenhouse effect. In this case, water vapour plays only a minor part as an enhancer, because the atmospheric concentration of it will increase if the temperature rises for other reasons, then causing a further increase in temperatures.
What would happen to Florida temperatures if world was to increase?
If the world increased, Florida would spread apart thus causing fragments of Florida to possibly drift into the ocean which would make Florida hot and cold in its different islands.
