How does the greenhouse effect affect climate change

Biology

exis [7]3 years ago

Earth's temperature depends on the balance between energy entering and leaving the planet’s system. When incoming energy from the sun is absorbed by the Earth system, Earth warms. When the sun’s energy is reflected back into space, Earth avoids warming. When absorbed energy is released back into space, Earth cools. Many factors, both natural and human, can cause changes in Earth’s energy balance, including:

<span><span>Variations in the sun's energy reaching Earth</span><span>Changes in the reflectivity of Earth’s atmosphere and surface</span><span>Changes in the greenhouse effect, which affects the amount of heat retained by Earth’s atmosphere</span></span>

These factors have caused Earth’s climate to change many times.

Scientists have pieced together a record of Earth’s climate, dating back hundreds of thousands of years (and, in some cases, millions or hundreds of millions of years), by analyzing a number of indirect measures of climate such as ice cores, tree rings, glacier lengths, pollen remains, and ocean sediments, and by studying changes in Earth’s orbit around the sun.

This record shows that the climate system varies naturally over a wide range of time scales. In general, climate changes prior to the Industrial Revolution in the 1700's can be explained by natural causes, such as changes in solar energy, volcanic eruptions, and natural changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations.

Recent climate changes, however, cannot be explained by natural causes alone. Research indicates that natural causes do not explain most observed warming, especially warming since the mid-20thcentury. Rather, it is extremely likely that human activities have been the dominant cause of that warming. Hope i was helpful.

Which statement best illustrates that problem solving can create new medical devices? Robert Hooke was in charge of verifying th
kirill115 [55]

The correct answer is option ''The stethoscope was invented because the physician did not want to put his head on women's chests to listen to their heart and lungs''.

In this case, the problem was that the physician's had a problem in listening the heart beats and the lung sound of the woman. To overcome this problem, the stethoscope was invented to listen the heart beat and the lung sound from distance, without keeping head on women's chest.

Which statement best explains why muscle cells and skin cells do not look and act the same?
Anon25 [30]
The statement which explains why muscle cells and skin cells do not look and act the same is this: THE GENES IN EACH TYPE OF CELL ARE BEEN EXPRESSED DIFFERENTLY. 
All the cells in human's body has the same set of genes, this is because, all the cells in the body originated from a single fertilized egg. Even though all the cells in the body has the same origin, they are different from one another because, the cells use the same set of genes differently.

During meiosis I, ____________ chromosomes line up side by side and may shuffle genetic material between themselves.
lozanna [386]

During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes line up side by side and may shuffle genetic material between themselves.

<h3>What is Meiosis?</h3>
  • In sexually reproducing organisms, meiosis is a unique type of cell division of germ cells that results in the production of gametes, such as sperm or egg cells.
  • Two rounds of division are necessary, and the end product is four cells with just one copy of each chromosome.
  • Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, and Telophase I are the four phases that make up Meiosis I.
  • It deactivates the sporophytic information while activating the genetic information for the production of sex cells.
  • By halving the same, it keeps the chromosomal count constant.
<h3>What is chromosome?</h3>
  • A chromosome is a lengthy DNA molecule that contains all or a portion of an organism's genetic code.
  • Histones, which serve as packing proteins for the majority of eukaryotic chromosomes, work with chaperone proteins to attach to and condense the DNA molecule in order to preserve the integrity of the molecule.
