Questions Related to carbon cycle
Identify the incorrect statement from the following
-
Oxides of nitrogen in the atmosphere can cause the depletion of ozone layer
-
Ozone absorbs the intense ultraviolet radiations of the sun
-
Depletion of ozone layer is because of its chemical reactions with CFC
-
Ozone absorbs infrared radiations
Ozone doesn't absorb infrared radiation , it absorbs ultraviolet radiations .
Which of the following is not a greenhouse gas?
-
Methane $CH _4$
-
Ozone $O _3$
-
Oxygen $O _2$
-
Carbon dioxide $CO _2$
Oxygen is not greenhouse gas, because they are transparent to infrared light.
