Enhanced greenhouse gas

anthropogenic factors

burning of fossil fuels

deforestation

cattle ranching

rice farming in padi fields

use of fertilisers

Nitrous oxide cause by

Lightning storms

Bacteria in the soil

Agriculture and industry

Use of fertilizers

Carbon dioxide cause by

Living things breathing

Burning of solid waste, wood, and fossil fuels

Big power stations create 21.3% of total CO2

Sulphur dioxide cause by

Volcanoes - gases released during eruption

Coal and other fossil fuels

Methane

Released from organic matter decomposition - rotting and breaking down

Cow ranching

Producing and transporting fossil fuels

Harmful gases (general)

Deforestation and the burning of trees

enhanced green house gas effect definition

the increase in the Earth's surface temperature due to higher concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily caused by human activities

variations in greenhouse has sources due to economic development

The main sources of emissions come from the most developed countries in the world as well as the vastly populated countries of India and China

Biggest source of emissions: China (29%)

variations in greenhouse gas sources and emissions due to globalization

Industrialization - HIC more emission

Trade - outsourcing leading to more use of fuel

global demand - increase production so using less sustainable methods

Globalizatio - transport fuel, more green technologies exclusive to HICs

greenhouse effect

process by which certain green house gas allows short wave solar radiation to pass through atmosphere but traps a proportion of outgoing long wave radiation in earth

3 main green house gases

water vapour

co2

methane
