A Correct answer
Explanation

The dramatic melting of the world’s mountain glaciers – from the Alps to the Himalayas – is mostly the result of man-made global warming rather than natural variability in the climate, a study has found.An assessment of about 200,000 glaciers in the world, some of which have been monitored since the mid 19th century, has found that about two thirds of the current rate of glacial melting is due to human influences on the climate

Greenhouse effect is caused due to ___________.

  1. noise pollution

  2. air pollution

  3. water pollution

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The greenhouse effect is primarily caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which is a direct consequence of air pollution. Other forms of pollution like noise or water do not contribute to the greenhouse effect.

  2. Environmental effect of noise pollution.

  3. Environmental effect of soil pollution.

  4. Environmental effect of water pollution.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Air pollution, especially particulates and greenhouse gases, affects temperature patterns. Urban areas with high pollution show greater warming trends, particularly noticeable at night and in winter due to the urban heat island effect and pollution trapping heat. This is an environmental effect of air pollution.
