What is one way that greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere?
Gp35971594500114
- The carbon cycle moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere. This cycle is largely neutral in regard to global warming.
- Increased numbers of cattle, as well as poor agricultural practices (rice paddy fields) are adding methane to the atmosphere.
- The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide.

∙ 11y ago- Burning coal, oil and gas emits carbon dioxide.
- Cattle and other ruminant animals, as well as rice farming, emit methane.
- Melting tundra and frozen lakes releases methane (from organic matter decomposing without air (anaerobically)).

∙ 11y ago- Carbon dioxide (CO2) gets into the atmosphere from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
- Methane (CH4), from melting tundra and lakes, cattle raising and rice paddies.
- Water vapour (H2O), naturally through evaporation in the water cycle.

What physical system includes all plants animals and people?
The biosphere is the physical system that includes all plants, animals and people. The biosphere is one of Earth's four subsystems; the others are the hydrosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere.
What does the noctiluca look like?
look up the evolution of bioluminescence. it basically states that certain one celled creatures/bacteria that glow do it because light is released out into the water when the noctiluca and plankton perform anarobic respiration.
Who uses a hypsometer?
A hygrometer is used to measure relative humidity, so this device might be used by anyone working in an industrial space or in a greenhouse. Also anyone that repairs wooden musical instruments, and those who store exotic and expensive wood, for that matter. A meteorologist will also use one, as you might have guessed.
What is the average temperature for Freshwater And the lowest or the highest it can get?
The freezing point of fresh water under one atmosphere of pressure is 0'Centigrade. The boiling point of fresh water under one atmosphere of pressure is 100'Centigrade.If your asking about natural fresh-water systems high latitude locations freeze every winter. Boiling water is found in volcanic locations such as yellow stone park and are inhabited by abundant life.Scientifically speaking the boiling point point of water falls with pressure until there is no possibility of water at all. This occurres at a pressure of 6E-4 MPa and a temperature of 0,01 'C. Ice will sublime directly into steam.or.....4degrees celcius at the bottom, 22degrees at the top- warmest point4degrees celccius at the bottom, 0degrees at the top
Are there bull sharks in Lake Pepin in Lake City?
In 2006 one was found in the cab of a pickup that had fallen through the ice approx 5 ft in length. It was nearly dead and because of WI regulations it had to be released because try don't allow the transport of species from one body to another of water
What effect would an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have on earths overall temperature?
Of course, greenhouse gases keep the Earth from being one large popsicle. The newest studies of the atmosphere indicate that the atmosphere is pretty stable, now. The reason is that nearly all of the greenhouse gases are water vapor mostly evaporated from the oceans.
Why is the Earth getting warmer every day?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat. We are continuing to add extra greenhouse gases (by burning fossil fuels) and this is causing the warming. The great forests that used to remove carbon dioxide (one of the greenhouse gases) from the atmosphere have been destroyed.
What is the current situation of the earth's atmosphere?
Well in terms of Global Warming, the burning of fossil fuels (gas for cars is one) releases more greenhouse gases, which mean there are more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases reflect sunlight BACK towards earth, keeping it warm. So the more greenhouse gases means the earth is warmer.
What is green ice gases?
The question probably refers to "greenhouse" gases rather than green ice gases. Greenhouse gases are a group of gases in the atmosphere that tend to prevent heat escaping from the Earth. They act rather like a blanket and hold heat in the atmosphere. There are several greenhouse gases. The best known are carbon dioxide and methane although water vapor is also one of them, even if not usually recognized as such.
What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?
A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.
What atmosphere gas helps to keep earth warm?
Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases that helps to keep earth warm.
What role does carbon dioxide play in your atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide constitutes about 0.04% of the total atmosphere. It is a greenhouse gas that uses greenhouse effect and radiative forcing to regulate the temperature on Earth's surface. It also plays a major role in carbon cycle.
Where does the water vapor in the atmosphere comes from?
water vapor is one of the greenhouse gases that is present around the planet and helps reflect heat back to Earth's surface , keeping it within the atmosphere.
Which gas is called greenhouse gas?
Carbon dioxide (CO2), if you mean the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. This carbon is released by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
How does the atmosphere contain carbon?
The atmosphere contains carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases. Levels of this gas are increasing in the atmosphere since we began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What are the main troubles with fossil fuels?
One of the problems with fossil fuels is that they pollute the environment by adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, thereby causing global warming.
What happens when gases like carbon dioxide get trapped in the atmosphere?
That would depend on what is absorbing it. If it is plants, they grow well. If it is our oceans, they drop in PH. In any event, the level CO2 decreases in the atmosphere. Historically, CO2 levels do not change though unless temperature changes first.
