Hey there.

I am going to use Wikipedia as my source to answer your question.

THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT (i will explain carbon deoxide's role below) effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without this atmosphere. [1][2]

Radiatively active gases (i.e., greenhouse gases) in a planet's atmosphere radiate energy in all directions. Part of this radiation is directed towards the surface, thus warming it. [3] The intensity of downward radiation – that is, the strength of the greenhouse effect – depends on the amount of greenhouse gases that the atmosphere contains. The temperature rises until the intensity of upward radiation from the surface, thus cooling it, balances the downward flow of energy.

CARBON DIOXIDE is one of many greenhouse gasses of which traps sunlight in the Earth's atmosphere thus affecting the temperature. Carbon dioxide is not the most harmful (That is to say it does not trap the most sunlight of any gas) greenhouse gas as you might expect. The reason you hear about it so much is because it is the most commonly emitted greenhouse gas.

Suppose you were going to use the design process to build the tree house you designed.whst more would you need to do before you

Tanya [424]

Well, obviously one would need to start off with a plan. After having an idea/blueprint of what your ideal treehouse will look like try finding some measurements for the wood (or whatever material you will use I won't judge) of course you better already have the length, width, and height of your treehouse. After that, you can get building; which could take days or even weeks depending on the house design and the amount of people you have to help out. Once that's done you can paint and decorate it all you want. (of course, to get it in the tree you might need a pulley to put it up there or build the bottom up on the tree.) And all your missing your ladder and that's it.

How does the density of liquid water compare with the<br> density of ice?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

The normal pattern for most compounds is that as the temperature of the liquid increases, the density decreases as the molecules spread out from each other. ... The ice structure takes up more volume than the liquid water molecules, hence ice is less dense than liquid water.
