What are Greenhouse Gases? These are the gases that make up our atmosphere: Carbon Dioxide 89% Methane 7% Nitrous Oxide 3% Halocarbons 1% What is the Greenhouse Effect? The Greenhouse Effect is the way that gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun. They let heat in‚ but prevent most of it from escaping. It is essential for life because we need a certain amount of radiation to heat up our atmosphere. What human activities produce Greenhouse Gases? By burning fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil and

* What is the greenhouse effect‚ and how does it work? The greenhouse effect is when the short wave lengths of visible light from the son pass through a transparent medium. They are then absorbed but the longer wavelengths of the infrared re-radiation from the heated objects are unable to pass through that medium. The Greenhouse Effect is when there are various gases in the atmosphere‚ such as carbon dioxide and even water vapor that traps the sun ’s energy‚ or heat‚ inside. When unable

Greenhouse gas emission What is greenhouse gas? A greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. Many greenhouse gases occur naturally‚ such as water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and ozone. Others such ashydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)‚perfluorocarbons (PFCs)‚ andsulfur hexafluoride (SF6) result only from human industrial processes. Greenhouse gases act like a blanket around Earth‚ trapping energy in the atmosphere and causing

Throughout history‚ great world structures depended on the extraction of mined materials. Early civilizations depended upon sheer labor to extract these materials. This was shown to be very labor and time intensive. Especially early on when stone tools were the only thing available. The solution to this problem came in the late 1800s with the invention of dynamite. Gunpowder is considered the first explosive to be discovered. It was first discovered many years ago in China and India. Early uses of

Greenhouse Effect And Ecosystem Environment plays an important role in human life. Nowadays‚ people are trying to take care of this environment‚ to ensure the prosperity and happiness of their life . Environment or ecosystem is the interaction and interface between living things (biotic) and non-living (a biotic) in nature. Biotic component includes all kinds of living creatures such as humans‚ animals‚ plants and micro organisms. Whereas a biotic components include non-living components such

1)What are all of the greenhouse gases? There are four greenhouse gases that trap and absorb heat on Earth so living organisms can sustain life. Not only are they the greenhouse gases up also make up the 1% in the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases include water vapor (H2O)‚ carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ methane (CH4)‚ and nitrous oxide (N2O). H20 - this is one but it not really talked about on the website 2) Which one is completely human related? (meaning it is not found naturally in the environment)

The greenhouse gas effect The greenhouse gas effect is the accumulation of natural and man-made gas in the atmosphere which does not block sunlight but trap heat to keep the temperature on Earth suitable for life. Imagine a greenhouse that is made of glass that supports plants growth. Visible sunlight can go through the glass but the heat in which it contains can’t go back through the glass‚ thus a greenhouse keeps plants warm allowing them to live and grow happily. The same process with gas replacing
