    Question

    Greenhouse gases are so-called because _________.

    1. They prevents heat waves from escaping from the earth's surface
    2. They are grown in greenhouses
    3. They are used to warm plant growth chambers
    4. They contribute to the maintenance of atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide balance

    Hint:

    Greenhouse gases cause greenhouse effect

    The correct answer is: They prevents heat waves from escaping from the earth's surface

      Greenhouse gases are so called due to the fact that they trap heat and do not allow it to escape similar to that of greenhouses that allow only sunlight to enter but not escape the greenhouse

      Though greenhouse effect is natural but still today’s climate change has become a serious problem. Why?

      1. Because unexpected changes to the climate system may have accidental outcomes that may cause challenges for societies.

      2. Because humans have modified a natural method and exaggerated changes that might normally happen over millions of years. 

      3. Because once greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, they remain effective for many years, making it hard to reverse the process.

      4. Because a small increase in greenhouse gas concentration can have a great impact on rise in temperatures.

      What will happen to the climate, if we stop burning of fossil fuels today?

      1. Earth's normal temperature would continue to increase.
      2. Temperatures would remain to warm, then start to cool down in 100 years or more.
      3. Temperatures would keep on fluctuating but continue to be the same on an average.
      4. Temperatures will not be rising once greenhouse gas concentrations stopped rising.
