    Question

    _________ is mainly responsible for greenhouse gas effect.

    1. Oxygen
    2. Carbon dioxide
    3. Mercury
    4. Carbon monoxide

    Hint:

    Greenhouse gases are gases in Earth's atmosphere that trap heat.

    The correct answer is: Carbon dioxide

      Carbon dioxide is mainly responsible for greenhouse gas effect.
      Greenhouse gases are gases in Earth's atmosphere that trap heat. They let sunlight pass through the atmosphere, but they prevent the heat that the sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere. The main greenhouse gases are: Water vapor. Carbon dioxide.

      We know that the greenhouse effect is natural, then why its increase has become a serious issue?

      1. Because a slight increase in greenhouse gas concentration can have a significant impact on rise in temperatures.

      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 Unexpected changes to the climate system may have accidental outcomes that may cause challenges for societies, such as severe weather, spread of diseases, a decrease in marine life, or changes in ocean circulation patterns.
