Which gas accounts for the majority of greenhouse gasses?
The most common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is water vapour, however, this is part of the carbon cycle. The most common greenhouse gas that is causing global warming is Carbon dioxide.
Do portable computers create greenhouse gases?
By charging the devices, yes greenhouse gasses are emited due to the way that more electricity is created. The devices them selves do not directly create greenhouse gasses that can be measured. Each time the battery is charged and discharged very minor amounts of CO2 are released. However a single houseplant would easily take care of all of the CO2 created by most portable devices in a household.
What country is the largest contributor of greenhouses gases?
China is the biggest annual producer of greenhouse gases, recently overtaking the US. The US remains historically the country that has put the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. China is catching up here.
Is nitrogen the most important gas in greenhouse gases?
No, carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas, not nitrogen.
Where does the greenhouse effect the ozone layer the most?
The greenhouse effect the ozone at the poles. It is the maximum at the poles.
What country has the most greenhouse gasses?
China
Which country produces the most greenhouse gasses?
united states/apex:)
How can you control melting ice of Antarctica?
Everyone contributes to the accumulation of greenhouse gasses, which cause global warming, which causes the ice to melt. If humans were able to remove the greenhouse gasses, then the effect would most likely be reversed.
Which gas accounts for the majority of greenhouse gasses?
The most common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is water vapour, however, this is part of the carbon cycle. The most common greenhouse gas that is causing global warming is Carbon dioxide.
Why are greenhouse gases similar to a Greenhouse?
Like in a greenhouse, greenhouse gasses let radiation from the sun reach Earth (the 'inside' of the greenhouse) but won't let the Earth reflect radiation. This is exactly what greenhouses do. Through the glass walls, the sunlight can come in, but once the rays are inside, the heat is trapped. That causes (intentional) temperature rise in the greenhouse. These gasses also (most likely) cause a temperature rise on Earth.
Is carbon dioxiode a greenhouse gas?
Yes, its the most common greenhouse gas. _________________________________________________________ Yes. The chemical formula of Carbon Dioxide is CO2 Other greenhouse gasses are: water vapor (H2O), methane (CH4),
What country produces the most greenhouse gases per square kilometer?
The country that produces the most greenhouse gases per square kilometer is Japan. This country is closely followed by the United Kingdom. The country that produces the most greenhouse gases per capita is Qatar.
Is carbon dioxiode a gas?
Yes, its the most common greenhouse gas. _________________________________________________________ Yes. The chemical formula of Carbon Dioxide is CO2 Other greenhouse gasses are: water vapor (H2O), methane (CH4),
What gas comes from fertilizers?
Decomposition of organic matter produces carbon dioxide and methane. This is what produces most of the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere not attributable to water vapor. Man is estimated to be responsible for about 11% of all greenhouse gasses. But this percentage seems to be more than the natural balance can handle.
What is the greenhouse affect?
The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gasses in the atmosphere trap infrared radiation. This effect makes the planet warmer than it would be without a greenhouse effect.The greenhouse effect is caused by greenhouse gases; the most important greenhouse gasses in Earth's atmosphere are: water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.Recently, the greenhouse effect has gotten stronger. Scientists believe this is because humans have been using large amounts of fossil fuels, which release carbon dioxide when they are burned. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, it has caused the planet to warm over the past 150 years.
What vans have a cataytic converter?
Most if not all vans built after 1980s have a catalytic converter. They serve to clean the exhaust of compound greenhouse gasses.
Which country produces the most greenhouse gases?
the United States.
