Question
Chapter 9, Problem 29E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The increase in the level of carbon dioxide and the change in temperature is to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas. It is comprised of a carbon atom bonded with two oxygen atoms.
Global warming is caused by the long-term increase in temperature of the Earth. It is very harmful to the environment and also causes problems for plants and animals.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which statement best describes the cause of the Earth's warming in recent decades? Which one is it?
1. Volcanic eruptions have increased in frequency, causing more greenhouse gases to be emitted.
2. The sun has become brighter, causing the planet to absorb more heat.
3. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide have increased in concentration. This has prevented some of the radiation that normally leaves the Earth's atmosphere from leaving, causing the temperature l to increase.
4. The species of plant that normally absorb sunlight have undergone genetic mutations, causing them to emit heat rather than absorb it.
14. The total volume of the Pacific Ocean is estimated to be 7.2 × 108 km3. A medium-sized atomic bomb produces 1.0 × 1015 J of energy upon explosion. Calculate the number of atomic bombs needed to release enough energy to raise the temperature of the water in the Pacific Ocean by 1°C.
