Question
After carbon dioxide, which of the following is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas?
- Argon
- Ozone
- CFCs
- Methane
Hint:
The atmosphere is transparent to the incoming shortwave radiations, it is translucent to the long wave infrared radiations which are absorbed by the greenhouse gases to make the earth warm this phenomenon is known as greenhouse effect.
The correct answer is: Methane
After carbon dioxide, Methane is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas.
Methane consists of 20% of the greenhouse effect. It is produced by the incomplete decomposition of organic matter due to the activity of methanogens under anaerobic conditions.
