Question 2

Term for identification: greenhouse gases

Accepted Answer

Greenhouse gases are gases in Earth's atmosphere that trap heat. They let sunlight in but prevent some of the heat that the sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere. This process is known as the greenhouse effect. It is a natural and necessary phenomenon, as it keeps our planet warm enough to sustain life. However, human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have increased concentrations of these gases, leading to more heat being trapped and thus contributing to global warming.

The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are:

1. Carbon dioxide (CO2): Produced by burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees and wood products, and also as a result of certain chemical reactions (e.g., manufacture of cement).

2. Methane (CH4): Emitted during the production and transport of coal, oil, and natural gas. Methane is also emitted by livestock and other agricultural practices and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills.

3. Nitrous oxide (N2O): Emitted from agricultural and industrial activities, as well as during combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste.

4. Fluorinated gases: A group of synthetic gases used in a range of industrial applications. While often emitted in smaller quantities, they are much more potent than CO2 in terms of their ability to trap heat in the atmosphere. This group includes hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3).

The increase in greenhouse gases caused by human activity is enhancing the greenhouse effect, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface and the lower atmosphere. This enhanced greenhouse effect is the main driver of current climate change, leading to shifts in weather patterns, rising sea levels, and increased frequency of extreme weather events. Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases through better technology, energy efficiency, and a shift to renewable energy sources is critical to mitigating the impacts of climate change.
