Greenhouse Gases
Greenhouse Gases Both Absorb
and Emit Radiation
They are a group of compounds which
trap heat inside the Earth’s atmosphere

A fundamental cause of the greenhouse

effect, they increase the temperature of
the earth’s surface, cause global
warming, and cause climate change
 TYPES OF
Greenhouse Gas
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Emitted by the burning of:
• Fossil Fuels- Coal, Oil,
Natural Gas
• Trees
• Wood Products
Result of Chemical Reactions, such as:
• Cement Manufacturing

Removed from the Atmosphere through

Absorption by Plants
 Methane (CH4)
Emitted by:
• Livestock
• Buried Waste
• Landfills
 Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

Emitted by:
• Motor Vehicle
Exhaust
• Agricultural Practices
 Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)

Emitted by:
• Spray Cans
• Refrigerator
• Air-conditioning units
Effect on Climate
The Effect of Each Gas Has on Global
Climate Change Depends On:
• The amount of gas in the
atmosphere- its concentration or
abundance
• The amount of time the gas remains
in the atmosphere
• The strength of the gas’s impact on
 QUIZ
