TEAM A: Questions and answers by MedDiet4Health https://padlet.com/meddiet4health/eqyfoteuaf3iyi03 Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) are atmospheric gases that trap heat from the sun, creating a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect. The primary GHGs include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Carbon dioxide, the most prevalent, is released through activities such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), deforestation, and various industrial processes. Methane, a potent GHG, is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels, as well as from livestock and agricultural practices. Nitrous oxide is produced by agricultural and industrial activities, as well as during the combustion of fossil fuels and organic matter. The increased concentration of these gases enhances the natural greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.Search on the web, keep notes trying to post your responses below. en-us 2024-08-01 10:27:56 UTC 2025-07-13 07:08:01 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2753.png What are greenhouse gases, and what are the primary types (e.g., CO2, methane, nitrous oxide)? meddiet4health https://padlet.com/meddiet4health/eqyfoteuaf3iyi03/wish/3065334885 2024-08-01 10:31:03 UTC https://padlet.com/meddiet4health/eqyfoteuaf3iyi03/wish/3065334885 How do these gases contribute to the greenhouse effect? meddiet4health https://padlet.com/meddiet4health/eqyfoteuaf3iyi03/wish/3065335133 2024-08-01 10:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/meddiet4health/eqyfoteuaf3iyi03/wish/3065335133 Which are the main sources of greenhouse gases? meddiet4health https://padlet.com/meddiet4health/eqyfoteuaf3iyi03/wish/3065335230 2024-08-01 10:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/meddiet4health/eqyfoteuaf3iyi03/wish/3065335230 What's the impact of greenhouse gases on global warming and climate change? meddiet4health https://padlet.com/meddiet4health/eqyfoteuaf3iyi03/wish/3065335331 2024-08-01 10:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/meddiet4health/eqyfoteuaf3iyi03/wish/3065335331 Natural Sources (Smaller or Balanced by Sinks) Respiration by Plants and Animals – Produces CO₂, but generally balanced by photosynthesis. Volcanic Eruptions – Emit CO₂ and water vapor, but much less than human sources. Wetlands and Termites – Naturally produce methane. Oceans – Exchange CO₂ with the atmosphere. https://padlet.com/meddiet4health/eqyfoteuaf3iyi03/wish/3500381373 Respiration by Plants and Animals – Produces CO₂, but generally balanced by photosynthesis.
