Question

__________is mainly responsible for greenhouse effect.

  1. Water vapor
  2. Carbon dioxide
  3. Methane
  4. Carbon monoxide

hintHint:

The greenhouse effect is caused by greenhouse gases that are present in abundance in the environment. the gases can either be natural or artificial. they trap the sun's energy which leads to the warming of the earth's surface and the atmosphere. The major contributors to the greenhouse effect are gases containing carbon and nitrogen.

The correct answer is: Water vapor


    Water vapors are mainly responsible for the greenhouse effect.
    The most abundant green-house gases in earth's atmosphere are water vapor.

    __________ is a greenhouse gas.

    • They are referred to as greenhouse gases because, like the glass of a greenhouse, they let visible light from the Sun pass through the atmosphere and they absorb long-wavelength infrared energy from the Earth and keep the atmosphere warm.
    • Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other gases that accumulate in the atmosphere and create the heat-reflective layer.

    Which of the following is explained by theory of plate tectonics?

    • Big Bang theory explains how the universe began.
    • Gravity is not same everywhere on Earth, but it varies because the planet is not perfectly spherical or uniformly dense and also due to it's rotation.
    • Since the forces that generate our magnetic field are constantly changing, the field itself is also in continual flux, its strength waxing and waning over time.
