Define a greenhouse gas.

Geography
1 answer:
Art [367]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Greenhouse gases allow visible light to pass through and warm the Earth's surface, and prevent heat energy from radiating back out into space.

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect of the gases is due to the fact that they transmit sunlight at a higher frequency than infrared, which heats up soil, trees and water. That heat cannot then radiate into space again like infrared radiation because the greenhouse gases partially absorb it. The effect is that the Earth's temperature rises until a completely new equilibrium temperature is reached.  The most significant greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and tropospheric ozone.

The concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is constantly increasing at an accelerating rate due to human activities. The annual growth rate is currently two millionths of a year.

If all objects have some gravitational force then why don’t objects on earth move towards each other?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The appropriate response is gravity: an undetectable power that pulls objects toward one another.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Thus, the closer items are to one another, the more grounded their gravitational draw is. Earth's gravity originates from all its mass. <em>All its mass makes a consolidated gravitational draw on all the mass in your body.</em>

The power/mass proportion is the equivalent for each. A straightforward guideline to hold up under as a primary concern is that all items <em>(paying little heed to their mass)</em> experience a similar increasing speed when in a condition of free fall.

<em>At the point when the main power is gravity, the speeding up is a similar incentive for all articles. On Earth, this speeding up worth is 9.8 m/s.</em>
