The steps for Global Warming to take place are: the gasses are released into the atmosphere, then the gasses rise higher into the stratosphere, wand then the gasses thicken the atmosphere, finally they trap heat in the atmosphere. A major contributor to this effect is Methane.
1. Sunlight penetrates the atmosphere, heating the planet. 2. The surface heats up. 3. The surface radiates heat back into outer space. 4. The heat is trapped in the atmosphere due to greenhouse gases. 5. The surface continues heating in a repeated cycle. 6. The process repeats again.
One of the major contributors of the greenhouse effect is methane gas. It is produced mainly by cows and manure, but can also be caused by other means. It is about ten times stronger than CO2, and this causes it to be very harmful to the environment. It traps heat easily, and causes the greenhouse effect.
1. The steps required are: -1) A large amount of pollutants must be present in the atmosphere. -2) Sun radiation must enter the Earth's atmosphere and preform it's normal task. -3) The pollutant found in the atmosphere must trap the sun's heat that is found in the atmosphere. -4) The radiation trapped in the atmosphere heats the Earth in excess causing 'The Greenhouse Effect'. 2. One of the major contributors is CO2 gas.
The steps can be altertered depending on what gas you are talking about because different gases have different effects on the planet. Most gases will rise into the atmosphere and they trap heat causing the area nearby to get warmer. The longer the gases are in the atmosphere the thicker they will get and the warmer the area around them. Many gases are not only caused by humans. Many are caused by natural things such as cows, which produce many liters of methane a day.
The gases are realized into the atmosphere and then go way higher into the stratosphere and the more gases that are realized into the air then the more the gases thicken and trap more and more heat the more they thicken. A majo contributor is halocarbons.
The greenhouse effect is allegedly caused by certain gases which trap heat in the atmosphere and gradually increase the Earth's temperature. Some of the most cited gases for inducing this effect (contributors) are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
Greenhouses gases are caused by pollutants such as car factories or even natural gases. These gases then rise into the atmosphere mixing with other gases creating a thicker layer and trapping more heat inside the atmosphere. One major contribution is humans and the new technology that there is such as cars and power plants.
The steps that occur are the greenhouse gasses being produced from burning or other sources, The emissions rising, and the ozone trapping the gases in earths atmosphere. 1. Sun hits the surface 2. The surface heats up 3. Surface emits energy 4. The energy gets trapped 5. The surface gets warmed up again
One of the major contributers to this type of effect is Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide is produced naturally and man made, and is one of the biggest pollutants that get trapped in our atmosphere
In order for the greenhouse effect to take place, harmful gasses such as CO2 and nitrous oxide are released into the air through combustion. Next, the gasses fill the air and make the atmosphere thicker. This makes it more difficult for the sunlight to escape the earth and reflect back to space, so much of the heat stays on the planet and slowly increases the temperature. As this happens the glaciers and polar ice caps melt. When they melt, the water that was once ice, gets warmer and melts the remaining ice faster than normal. When glaciers on mountains melt, a dark rock surface emerges from the ice and darker colors soak up the sunlight and heat more than the white snow. This also melts the ice more quickly. One of the major contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide.
One of the major contributors to the greenhouse effect is CO2 gas.
Step 1-Gases are released into the air. Step 2-Gases get trapped in the atmosphere causing the warming of the atmosphere Step 3-The atmosphere warms the surface of earth releasing infrared heat Step 4-Infrared energy is trapped in the surface Step 5-The surface continues to heat up
The steps to global warming are as follows: greenhouse gasses are emitted into the air. These gasses rise higher and higher into the stratosphere, thickening and altering the atmosphere. Then, the whole atmosphere starts to grow hotter and hotter. There are different contributors to global warming. Methane is believed to be the major contributor, but I don't think we will ever really know what is the real major contributor.
Being a natural thing, greenhouse gases have cycles that take place throughout lifetimes. When a plant, animal, or abiotic factor emits a greenhouse gas such as carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide, the gas is evaporated along with bodies of water and falls in other areas due to wind and water currents. This balances out the ecosystems that keeps the planets land sustainable. When greenhouse gases trap the heat, less of the suns rays are released into space. This is the results if the burning of fossil fuels and other human activity as well as natural activity. The major factor of this is the currents that carry the gases, therefore, when the temperatures rise, the currents are rearranged in an unpredictable pattern, causing droughts in areas and floods in the neighboring nation.
Step 1: Visible sunlight penetrates the cloud layers and hits the surface. Step 2: The surface heats up. Step 3: The surface emits infrared energy. Step 4: The infrared energy is trapped inside and it can't get out. Step 5: The surface continues heating.
Human activities like the burning of fossil fuels that releases gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere are the main contributors to the greenhouse effect.
The steps in order are: 1. Harmful gases are released into the air. (CO2, Methane, Nitrous Oxide) 2. The gases rise to the atmosphere level and trap heat. 3. The Sun's rays penetrate the gases and bring heat down to earth. 4. The rays are reflected back to the atmosphere, but are unable to travel back to space. 5. Heat is trapped by the gases and the planet does not cool like it should.
One of the major contributors to the greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide. Although this gas is natural, too much of it is bad for the environment. While the plants that emit the gas breathe it in and out once a year give a healthy amount of the gas, our industrial items (cars, factories, homes, etc.) send out too much. The amount that we have been sending out has finally begun to take its toll on the environment and is affecting the environment negatively.
Combustion and other sources release gases like carbon dioxide and methane. The gases get trapped in the atmosphere. Sunlight reflects of the Earth, but the heat off the sunlight gets trapped by the gases. This causes a Greenhouse effect, or the heating of the Earth.
Humans are one of the major contributors to this type of effect. One of the ways carbon dioxide is released is combustion from human-driven cars. Also, one of the huge contributors of methane and nitrous oxide are cows, which release the gases from their body. Humans are the ones that bred the cows to such huge numbers, and therefore are contributors to the greenhouse effect.
1. Emissions from factories (CO2), cars (CO2), animals (methane), decomposing material (methane), and evaporating water from the ocean go up into the atmosphere and create a layer of greenhouse gases.
2. Sunlight goes through the atmosphere and is absorbed by the ground.
3. The Earth try's to radiate the heat back into space but the greenhouse gases trap the heat in the atmosphere.
4. The overall temperature of the atmosphere changes the oceans and lands temperatures which changes the flow in currents, causes more heavy rains in some areas, long droughts in other areas, and famine.
1. The greenhouse effect starts with the emission of fossil fuels, gas for cars, etc. 2. These emissions often contain CO2, or carbon dioxide. 3. The heat and CO2 together travel upwards into the atmosphere. 4. The final result is a warmer planet/atmosphere.
Major contributors to a greenhouse effect include what was mentioned in step one.
One big contributor to the greenhouse effect is pollution. Pollution is harming the Earth because the CO2 that is releases into the air is basically eating away at the oxygen in the air. The is also harming the atmosphere in which keeps heat on Earth. Without the atmosphere, the heat would just hit the Earth and reflect right off. Since we have the atmosphere, it traps some of that heat inside for the Earth. The atmosphere is made up of mostly nitrogen and oxygen. These gases allow the Eath to be habitable. Without the atmosphere, the Earth would also be inhabitable. The CO2 is just a harmful gas for the Earth.
In order to have the greenhouse effect take place, there has to be greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. Some of these gasses come from cars, factories, and other carbon dioxide emissions. With these gasses surrounding earth, the sun directly hits them, therefore heating the gasses, and with heated gasses surrounding all of Earth, the planet will get hotter and hotter every time there are more gasses dumped into the atmosphere. The warming of gasses is primarily the cause of the greenhouse affect. Some greenhouse gases will settle on earth forming a dark blanket, and dark colors absorb heat, as well. Now the surface of earth, as well as the atmosphere is hotter, warming the earth faster.
A major contributor to the Greenhouse gases Is CO2.
The steps of the Greenhouse effect are, the sunlight passes through the clouds and hits the surface. It gets trapped at the surface and then causes the surface to overheat. At this time it just keeps hitting the surface and continues to heat it up.
First, the sun's radiation re-emits its energy into space, this is known as infra-red radiation. Next, a greenhouse gas (i.e. carbon dioxide, methane, etc.) will stop some of the radiation from going into space by absorbing some of the heat from the radiation. Once it is absorbed, the gases will re-emit the heat into Earth. This is a natural process, and without it life could not be sustained. Unfortunately, humans, a major contributor to the greenhouse effect, are releasing more and more greenhouse gases, and that combined with the gases from nature are trapping more and more heat. For example, nitrous oxide comes from factories, CFC from aerosols (although CFC is no longer allowed), and many more gases are emitted because of human activities. This is bad because the more greenhouse gases there are, the higher the temperature will get.
The harmful gases are trapped in the atmosphere (CO2, Methane,N2O, and other gases.) The sun's rays go toward the Earth and the atmosphere and they stay inside the atmosphere and can't escape which causes the earth inside the atmosphere with the help of the gases to heat up as the greenhouse gas effect. Also, it seems like it absorbs the heat into the Earth. What is one of the major contributers to this type of effect? Water Vapor if including it is the major contributor to greenhouse gas effect, but if not including it is CO2.
First of all, the greenhouse gases need to come from somewhere. They are produced from the burning of fossil fuels, from the use of electricity, factories, transportation, and other sources. The gases get released into the air, polluting the atmosphere. With the addition of the Sun's rays to the greenhouse gases in the air, they, combined heat up the environment.
To answer the second question, I think that there is tie between the major contributors. They would are the burning and combustion of the fossil fuels and transportation. According to the EIA, 82% of the gases in the air are carbon dioxide and come from the burning of fossil fuels. Transportation is really horrid on the environment as well. We use cars and other modes of transportation everyday.
The Sun's radiation is absorbed by the Earth, some is re-radiated into space as heat, and some is trapped in the atmosphere. When the atmosphere traps more heat, then the surface of the earth gets hotter so do the bodies of water. The main contributors to the greenhouse effect are methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and CFC's.
When emissions from cars, planes, factories, decomposing materials, water vapor from the polluted ocean, etc. is released into the atmosphere, it is classified as a greenhouse gas. Naturally occurring greenhouses are good for the Earth, but as most of us know, too much of a good thing is never good. When human induced greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, they are trapped and thin out the ozone layer. This let's more sunlight through, making our planet hotter, plus with all the emissions trapped, it makes it even hotter.
1. Gases get released into the atmosphere. 2. The atmosphere thickens. 3. As heat is reverberated off of the ground, it is trapped on Earth and makes the Earth hotter.
Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide are the main contributors to this problem. Carbon Dioxide and Methane are released by burning fossil fuels and other activities. The heightened you of oil for transportation has hurt the Earth exstensively
The heat waves from the sun enter the earth and reflect back to the sun but the pollution makes the atmosphere thicker and the heat from the sun stays inside the earth making it warmer . Factories cars fossil fuels cause the atmosphere to thicken thus making the weather here on earth warmer and warmer.
1. Greenhouse gasses (CO2, methane) enters the atmosphere 2. Sunlight enters atmosphere 3. Sunlight radiates off Earth as heat 4. More heat than normal stays in the atmosphere because the vapor acts as insulation. A major greenhouse gas is methane
1. Fossil fuels are created over millenniums. 2. People burn fossil fuels. 3. Burning releases greenhouse gases 4. Sunlight penetrates Earth's atmosphere 5. Most of the beams are reradiated to space 6. Greenhouse gases trap a little extra than normal, keeping heat in. 7. The atmosphere warms up. 8. Repeat (on the other hand, DON'T)
When greenhouse gases are created by cars, power plants, and other polluters they disperse throughout the atmosphere. Once that happens, the new solar rays from the sun are trapped because of the thickened greenhouse area. This causes the rays to remain in the atmosphere in raised levels. Once this happens, it is even harder for them to get out. One of the biggest offenders is methane. More potent than C02, methane can certainly damage the atmosphere at a very rapid pace.
The suns rays and heat pass through the earths atmospheres, and heat the suffice up. Next, some of the suns rays are reflected off of ice and the atmosphere, and reflected back into space, while some is reflected off of the atmosphere again and is contained inside the earth. A major contributor to the greenhouse effect are the greenhouse gasses like Co2 and Methane. They work by preventing the solar rays and heat from leaving the atmosphere, henceforth causing a large heat increase in the heat currently affecting earth.
1. Gases such as CO2 and Methane are released into the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels, factories, etc. 2. The gases gather in the atmosphere 3. When sunlight travels into the atmosphere, the gases cause most of it to reflect back into space, but the rays that do make it through are trapped beneath the clouds of gas. This happens because when the light tries to reflect off of the ocean, land, etc. and back into space, it hits the gases and is reflected rick back to earth. Pretty much like a giant ping pong game. 4. The excess of trapped sunlight causes the earth to warm.
CO2 is a HUGE contributor. Not because it is the most harmful (which it isn't), but because there's so much of it in the atmosphere.
Green House Effect Steps: 1) Sunlight/Heat enters the atmosphere 2) Then the heat is absorbed by greenhouse gasses 3) these gasses slow down the heat from leaving the atmosphere Factories are a major factor in the greenhouse effect.
1) Gases are released into the atmosphere through a variety of ways, including human-induced emissions and natural sources.
2) Sunlight reaches Earth.
3) Some sunlight is reflected away from the Earth, while some penetrates the atmosphere.
4) Some sunlight that penetrated Earth's atmosphere is absorbed, and later released again, while some of the sunlight that penetrated the atmosphere is reflected by things on Earth's surface.
5) Certain gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap the energy reflecting or being released off the planet's surface. It retains the heat, making the atmosphere and planet as a whole warm up.
Also note: the gases can make the protective ozone layer, which reflects much sunlight away form Earth, dissolve slowly, which lets more sunlight through. in time, the Earth will heat up faster in this way.
Obviously, the Sun radiates heat and light toward Earth. Then Earth radiates a small amount of heat (but not light) back. However, gases like Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, and Methane absorb this heat and trap heat in the atmosphere. Because of our use of cars, factories, and other things that pollute the air and create these heat-absorbing gases, this heat is getting absorbed and trapped, staying on the planet, and heating it up. That's global warming for you.
1: Sun rays break through clouds 2: These rays heat up the Earth with UV rays 3: The heat reflects from the surface and become infrared rays 4: These either penetrate the atmosphere or get reflected from the atmosphere. This effect varies by the amount of Carbon Dioxide in it. 5: the cycle repeats, depending on the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
A major contributor to this is combustion due to the amount of Co2 that is released.
Too much of the radiation that Earth sends back into outer space gets stuck on Earth due to greenhouse gases causing the atmosphere to thicken. The major contributors are CO2 and Methane.
How We Are Getting a Hotter Planet A portion of the sunlight that hits the atmosphere permeates it instead of being reflected. The land and ocean then reflect some of that heat but retain some as well, heating the planet. Gases such as CO2, methane, nitrogen oxide are released by decaying material or human pollution which causes the heat to remain trapped in.
Who Dunnit? You. If you are reading this, that means you are a human which means you are responsible (not solely, but contributingly). With factories that you support buy using and buying their products, you help to add pollution. You create CO2, nitrogen oxide, and methane and though there are natural factors at work (such as decomposing material and cows ;P) you are furthering these contributers by raising more cows and cutting down more trees which also creates less trees to soak up carbon dioxide which heats up the planet more (./' It's the cirrrrrcle of liiiiiife, only now it's polluuuutionnn. . . . ./'). Give a hoot, don't pollute! At least that'll do something. . . . What is one of the major contributers to this type of effect?
The steps required for the greenhouse effect to take place are the release of solar energy sent towards Earth. Before all of the light can bounce back into space, the gases in our atmosphere step in and collect it, therefore keeping Earth at a steady temperature. The reason our emissions are heating the worldwide temperature is that increased gases released into the atmosphere trap more solar energy and in turn increase the temperature.
Steps for the greenhouse effect: 1. Greenhouse gases like CO2, nitrous oxide, and halocarbons are released into the air. 2. Sunlight enters the atmosphere and is absorbed by the ground. 3. The heat attempting to be radiated away from the earth is trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases. 4. the surface continues to heat up.
Steps on How To Make A Nice Toasty Planet 1) Let the Sun shine it's beams of light onto Earth's surface 2) Let our atmosphere trap the normal amounts of heat from the Sun 3) (This is where we come in) Add millions of cars around the world putting up carbon dioxide, add the billions of cows putting out methane gas, and add other pollutants like radioactivity. If you do this correctly, this should end up making a thicker atmosphere, and because of that more heat and radiation 4) Now you can watch our planet heat up and watch millions be affected by it. Hurray!
The main gases causing warming to take place is carbon dioxide and methane gas. I think the cow problem can't be solved because they were here from the start, but of course, people can help reduce co2 levels by driving less, using public transportation, or using a vehicle that doesn't use gas or any fossil fuel, like a bike or your own two feet.
When sunlight hits the planet, most of it is either radiated back into space or blocked by the atmosphere in the first place. But some of it is trapped by greenhouse gases(i.e. CO2, methane, and water vapor to name just a few.) on it's way out. By doing this, Earth is usually kept at just the right temperature. But we are adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere (such as emissions coming from cars, airplanes, trains, factories, agriculture, melting ice in the Arctic, etc.) By adding to the greenhouse gases, we are heating up the Earth way above what temperature it is suppose to be.
Green house affect steps 1. Harmful gases are released into the air, such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and halo carbons. These are shot into the air from things like cars, the release of fossil fuels and more.
2. The suns rays hit the earth, and are caught by the earths surface.
3. The suns rays then are released back into space.
4. After the gases are in the atmosphere, instead of all the heat being released into space, much more of the rays are trapped in due to the thickening of the atmosphere from the green house gases.
5. The earth then heats up due to more of the suns rays being trapped inside, and therefore, global warming happens.
Major contributors like stated earlier are mainly gases like methane and carbon dioxide. These are mostly released into the air by humans, by cars and fossil fuels being burned, but some of it can be natural like how cows create methane.
Rays of sunlight hit Earth. In normal circumstances, the layer of atmosphere would reflect the right amount of sunlight back into space to keep the Earth at an acceptable temperature. Unfortunately, due to the excessive amounts of harmful greenhouse gases being emitted the defense level of the atmosphere is weakening. Therefore the amount of sunlight that would usually be reflected back into space, is trapped within the atmosphere and is consequently raising the temperature of the Earth.
Mr sunbeams comes to visit earth but mean old green house gasses beat them up. Then thier rotting corpses heat up earth. This is a process called global warming. The more sunbeams in the atmosphere the hotter it will get.
Not really. What really happens is green houses keep heat from the sun trapped in the atmusfere that would normally just bounce of earth, this causes the earth to heat up. The process of global warming grows on it's self so the longer it goes on the greater the effect.
Some of the major culpares (no foreigners are not one of them) are methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and fossil fuels in general.
For the greenhouse effect to take place, these steps must happen: 1) Gases are emmitted into the atmosphere, where they collect. 2) The sun's rays are radiated toward Earth, where usually most of it is reflected out. But, because of the collection these gases, more and more of the rays are being captured and held in the atmosphere, as well as damaging the ozone layer.
The main contributors are CO2, methane and nitrous oxide.
The steps for Global Warming to take place are: the gasses are released into the atmosphere, then the gasses rise higher into the stratosphere, wand then the gasses thicken the atmosphere, finally they trap heat in the atmosphere. A major contributor to this effect is Methane.

ReplyDeleteWhen emissions from cars, planes, factories, decomposing materials, water vapor from the polluted ocean, etc. is released into the atmosphere, it is classified as a greenhouse gas. Naturally occurring greenhouses are good for the Earth, but as most of us know, too much of a good thing is never good. When human induced greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, they are trapped and thin out the ozone layer. This let's more sunlight through, making our planet hotter, plus with all the emissions trapped, it makes it even hotter.
ReplyDelete1. Gases get released into the atmosphere.
ReplyDelete2. The atmosphere thickens.
3. As heat is reverberated off of the ground, it is trapped on Earth and makes the Earth hotter.
Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide are the main contributors to this problem. Carbon Dioxide and Methane are released by burning fossil fuels and other activities. The heightened you of oil for transportation has hurt the Earth exstensively
The heat waves from the sun enter the earth and reflect back to the sun but the pollution makes the atmosphere thicker and the heat from the sun stays inside the earth making it warmer . Factories cars fossil fuels cause the atmosphere to thicken thus making the weather here on earth warmer and warmer.
ReplyDelete1. Greenhouse gasses (CO2, methane) enters the atmosphere
ReplyDelete2. Sunlight enters atmosphere
3. Sunlight radiates off Earth as heat
4. More heat than normal stays in the atmosphere because the vapor acts as insulation.
A major greenhouse gas is methane
1. Fossil fuels are created over millenniums.
ReplyDelete2. People burn fossil fuels.
3. Burning releases greenhouse gases
4. Sunlight penetrates Earth's atmosphere
5. Most of the beams are reradiated to space
6. Greenhouse gases trap a little extra than normal, keeping heat in.
7. The atmosphere warms up.
8. Repeat (on the other hand, DON'T)
When greenhouse gases are created by cars, power plants, and other polluters they disperse throughout the atmosphere. Once that happens, the new solar rays from the sun are trapped because of the thickened greenhouse area. This causes the rays to remain in the atmosphere in raised levels. Once this happens, it is even harder for them to get out. One of the biggest offenders is methane. More potent than C02, methane can certainly damage the atmosphere at a very rapid pace.
ReplyDeleteThe suns rays and heat pass through the earths atmospheres, and heat the suffice up. Next, some of the suns rays are reflected off of ice and the atmosphere, and reflected back into space, while some is reflected off of the atmosphere again and is contained inside the earth. A major contributor to the greenhouse effect are the greenhouse gasses like Co2 and Methane. They work by preventing the solar rays and heat from leaving the atmosphere, henceforth causing a large heat increase in the heat currently affecting earth.
ReplyDelete1. Gases such as CO2 and Methane are released into the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels, factories, etc.
ReplyDelete2. The gases gather in the atmosphere
3. When sunlight travels into the atmosphere, the gases cause most of it to reflect back into space, but the rays that do make it through are trapped beneath the clouds of gas. This happens because when the light tries to reflect off of the ocean, land, etc. and back into space, it hits the gases and is reflected rick back to earth. Pretty much like a giant ping pong game.
4. The excess of trapped sunlight causes the earth to warm.
CO2 is a HUGE contributor. Not because it is the most harmful (which it isn't), but because there's so much of it in the atmosphere.
The heightened *use* of oil for transportation has hurt the Earth extensively.
ReplyDelete1) The sun's rays go through the atmosphere and heat the planet.
ReplyDelete2) The surface of the planet heats up.
3) Car emission, pollution, factories, and other pollutants cause the atmosphere to thicken.
4) The sun's rays reflect off ice, glaciers, and other bright landmasses back into outer space.
5) The thickened atmosphere traps the rays and they continue heating the planet.
Major contributers are CO2 and methane. Also car emissions and factories cause gases that also thicken the atmosphere including CO2.
Green House Effect Steps:
ReplyDelete1) Sunlight/Heat enters the atmosphere
2) Then the heat is absorbed by greenhouse gasses
3) these gasses slow down the heat from leaving the atmosphere
Factories are a major factor in the greenhouse effect.
One of the majors contributors to this effect is carbon monoxide/dioxide from automobile exhaust
ReplyDeleteGreenhouse effect:
ReplyDelete1) Gases are released into the atmosphere through a variety of ways, including human-induced emissions and natural sources.
2) Sunlight reaches Earth.
3) Some sunlight is reflected away from the Earth, while some penetrates the atmosphere.
4) Some sunlight that penetrated Earth's atmosphere is absorbed, and later released again, while some of the sunlight that penetrated the atmosphere is reflected by things on Earth's surface.
5) Certain gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap the energy reflecting or being released off the planet's surface. It retains the heat, making the atmosphere and planet as a whole warm up.
Also note: the gases can make the protective ozone layer, which reflects much sunlight away form Earth, dissolve slowly, which lets more sunlight through. in time, the Earth will heat up faster in this way.
Obviously, the Sun radiates heat and light toward Earth. Then Earth radiates a small amount of heat (but not light) back. However, gases like Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, and Methane absorb this heat and trap heat in the atmosphere. Because of our use of cars, factories, and other things that pollute the air and create these heat-absorbing gases, this heat is getting absorbed and trapped, staying on the planet, and heating it up. That's global warming for you.
ReplyDelete1: Sun rays break through clouds
ReplyDelete2: These rays heat up the Earth with UV rays
3: The heat reflects from the surface and become infrared rays
4: These either penetrate the atmosphere or get reflected from the atmosphere. This effect varies by the amount of Carbon Dioxide in it.
5: the cycle repeats, depending on the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
A major contributor to this is combustion due to the amount of Co2 that is released.
Too much of the radiation that Earth sends back into outer space gets stuck on Earth due to greenhouse gases causing the atmosphere to thicken. The major contributors are CO2 and Methane.
ReplyDeleteHow We Are Getting a Hotter Planet
ReplyDeleteA portion of the sunlight that hits the atmosphere permeates it instead of being reflected. The land and ocean then reflect some of that heat but retain some as well, heating the planet.
Gases such as CO2, methane, nitrogen oxide are released by decaying material or human pollution which causes the heat to remain trapped in.
Who Dunnit?
You. If you are reading this, that means you are a human which means you are responsible (not solely, but contributingly). With factories that you support buy using and buying their products, you help to add pollution. You create CO2, nitrogen oxide, and methane and though there are natural factors at work (such as decomposing material and cows ;P) you are furthering these contributers by raising more cows and cutting down more trees which also creates less trees to soak up carbon dioxide which heats up the planet more (./' It's the cirrrrrcle of liiiiiife, only now it's polluuuutionnn. . . . ./'). Give a hoot, don't pollute! At least that'll do something. . . .
What is one of the major contributers to this type of effect?
The steps required for the greenhouse effect to take place are the release of solar energy sent towards Earth. Before all of the light can bounce back into space, the gases in our atmosphere step in and collect it, therefore keeping Earth at a steady temperature. The reason our emissions are heating the worldwide temperature is that increased gases released into the atmosphere trap more solar energy and in turn increase the temperature.
ReplyDeleteSteps for the greenhouse effect:
ReplyDelete1. Greenhouse gases like CO2, nitrous oxide, and halocarbons are released into the air.
2. Sunlight enters the atmosphere and is absorbed by the ground.
3. The heat attempting to be radiated away from the earth is trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases.
4. the surface continues to heat up.
A main contributor to climate change is CO2 gases
Steps on How To Make A Nice Toasty Planet
ReplyDelete1) Let the Sun shine it's beams of light onto Earth's surface
2) Let our atmosphere trap the normal amounts of heat from the Sun
3) (This is where we come in) Add millions of cars around the world putting up carbon dioxide, add the billions of cows putting out methane gas, and add other pollutants like radioactivity. If you do this correctly, this should end up making a thicker atmosphere, and because of that more heat and radiation
4) Now you can watch our planet heat up and watch millions be affected by it. Hurray!
The main gases causing warming to take place is carbon dioxide and methane gas. I think the cow problem can't be solved because they were here from the start, but of course, people can help reduce co2 levels by driving less, using public transportation, or using a vehicle that doesn't use gas or any fossil fuel, like a bike or your own two feet.
When sunlight hits the planet, most of it is either radiated back into space or blocked by the atmosphere in the first place. But some of it is trapped by greenhouse gases(i.e. CO2, methane, and water vapor to name just a few.) on it's way out. By doing this, Earth is usually kept at just the right temperature. But we are adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere (such as emissions coming from cars, airplanes, trains, factories, agriculture, melting ice in the Arctic, etc.) By adding to the greenhouse gases, we are heating up the Earth way above what temperature it is suppose to be.
ReplyDeleteGreen house affect steps
ReplyDelete1. Harmful gases are released into the air, such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and halo carbons. These are shot into the air from things like cars, the release of fossil fuels and more.
2. The suns rays hit the earth, and are caught by the earths surface.
3. The suns rays then are released back into space.
4. After the gases are in the atmosphere, instead of all the heat being released into space, much more of the rays are trapped in due to the thickening of the atmosphere from the green house gases.
5. The earth then heats up due to more of the suns rays being trapped inside, and therefore, global warming happens.
Major contributors like stated earlier are mainly gases like methane and carbon dioxide. These are mostly released into the air by humans, by cars and fossil fuels being burned, but some of it can be natural like how cows create methane.
Rays of sunlight hit Earth. In normal circumstances, the layer of atmosphere would reflect the right amount of sunlight back into space to keep the Earth at an acceptable temperature. Unfortunately, due to the excessive amounts of harmful greenhouse gases being emitted the defense level of the atmosphere is weakening. Therefore the amount of sunlight that would usually be reflected back into space, is trapped within the atmosphere and is consequently raising the temperature of the Earth.
ReplyDeleteMr sunbeams comes to visit earth but mean old green house gasses beat them up. Then thier rotting corpses heat up earth. This is a process called global warming. The more sunbeams in the atmosphere the hotter it will get.
ReplyDeleteNot really. What really happens is green houses keep heat from the sun trapped in the atmusfere that would normally just bounce of earth, this causes the earth to heat up. The process of global warming grows on it's self so the longer it goes on the greater the effect.
Some of the major culpares (no foreigners are not one of them) are methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and fossil fuels in general.
For the greenhouse effect to take place, these steps must happen:
ReplyDelete1) Gases are emmitted into the atmosphere, where they collect.
2) The sun's rays are radiated toward Earth, where usually most of it is reflected out. But, because of the collection these gases, more and more of the rays are being captured and held in the atmosphere, as well as damaging the ozone layer.
The main contributors are CO2, methane and nitrous oxide.
