When a person starts their car or does a very small and simple thing the last thing that they are thinking of are the consequences it has to the atmosphere. Because of the continuous changing of the society, the earth has to get used to several different problems. Even though the atmosphere is known to be good because it protects us from the deadly radiation from the sun, it also takes that same heat and engulfs the earth in it.
The greenhouse effect refers to the light energy that is trapped by the gases in the atmosphere, and the gases convert the light energy into heat energy. Although most of this heat energy redirected into space, the earth traps enough of it to heat the atmosphere, or enough to make a temperature that can support life. That is the actual greenhouse effect, but when it is put to perspective in our days, scientists believe it is not very good. Scientists think that the greenhouse effect will become uncontrollable. They believe that since there is so much activity happening on earth, that it will produce more of the greenhouse gases to put in the atmosphere. And the more gases there are then the more heat there will be trapped in the atmosphere. The gases that are trapped in the atmosphere that make the greenhouse effect are natural gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and halocarbons. The greenhouse effect can be harmful, but it can also be helpful. Since the climate gets hotter and hotter each year, this will cause the vegetation to die, and without vegetation, the animals that rely on the vegetation, herbivores, and then the animals that rely on eating the herbivores, carnivores, die out and then the whole eco-system is messed up.
The Report on The Greenhouse Gases and Its Causes and Effects on the Earth
... converted into heat energy (Infrared radiation) that is then sent back into the atmosphere. As the Infrared radiation passes through the greenhouse gas molecules in ... warmer, but the Greenhouse Effect is mainly caused by a layer of gases under the Earth’s atmosphere. These gases, known as the Greenhouse Gases are made up ...
Also causes problems by raising the temperature on the planet. Even though the raise in the temperature is not much, the earths eco-system is very easily damaged. The Inter-Governmental Panel has predicted that by the year 2025, the temperature will go up by one degree and that would almost destroy the North American corn crop, which produces much of the world’s grain. All of that results in much higher grain prices and less grain for the third world countries than the small amount they have now. Although it causes many problems that can destroy the earth within a large period of time it also can be quite helpful. The one very important thing it does is it supports plant life. Also without the greenhouse effect the earths average temperature would be minus 18 degrees Celsius instead of the normal 16 degrees Celsius. In addition the greenhouse effect is very hard to deal with. Without it it would be freezing, with it, or too much of it, it will be too hot.
An average global temperature rise is 0.2°C to 0.3°C every decade. Meaning over the next hundred years there could be large consequences, because some areas in the world will get much higher average increase than others. The temperature on earths surface is heated by the process called the greenhouse effect. Growth in industry and transportation have used and burned more products, such as fossil fuels or trees, resulting in them making more greenhouse gases and putting them into the atmosphere. This results in more heat in the colder places. So all the ice melts in the colder places and then the places that are hot the sea level rises and that results in more floods.
The Term Paper on Green House Effect Temperature Gases Increase
GREEN HOUSE EFFECT INTRODUCTION In temperate countries some economically important plants that cannot grow outside at a very low temperature during the winter are grown in glass-walled & glass-roofed growth chambers (known as glass houses) exposed to sunlight. Glass houses are also used in sub tropical regions during winter months & relatively cold high altitude for high value ...
The Kyoto Protocol is the treaty that was signed by many countries to help prevent more greenhouse gases. The less greenhouse gases there are in the atmosphere the less dangerous the greenhouse effect is. The countries signed this treaty to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that are put in the atmosphere because if there are to many they will cause global warming. The treaty was open for signature on March 16, 1998. The United States signed this on November 12, 1998. Their target was to reduce their amount of greenhouse gases put in the atmosphere by 7%. In all the Kyoto Protocol was a great idea and if it works out like it is supposed to we can prevent all the consequences of having too much greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.
In conclusion the greenhouse effect is a very controversial part in science. It is part good and part bad. There are some things we need from it and some things we don’t, and until we find a way to block the bad part of the greenhouse effect, I hope we (the countries and continents) continue to help not pollute and ruin the atmosphere. After listing all the bad things about the greenhouse effect I would like to say it is not just all bad, without it, it would be an average of -15 degrees Celsius everyday. With it we could have global warming, without it we would freeze everyday of our lives.
