D Correct answer
Explanation

Greenhouse gases are the gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect by absorbing the earth's heat and re-radiating it towards the earth. Carbon dioxide is the highest (among gases) contributor towards greenhouse effect and contributes about 9-26%, followed by methane (contributes 4-9%), and ozone (3-7%). Over the past few years, carbon dioxide has caused most of the global warming as it is present in abundance in the atmosphere and its amount is increasing over the years. So, even though other gases have a more contributing effect per molecule, the amount of carbon dioxide is so high that it contributes more than the other gases. Due to this carbon dioxide is considered the main greenhouse gas. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Carbon dioxide.'

The true statement about 'Green -house effect' is that it is

  1. Caused by combination of many gases
  2. Caused only by $CO _2$
  3. Caused by $CO _2,CFC,CH _4$ and $NO _2$ gases

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Greenhouse effect is the phenomenon in which radiations from the sun are trapped in the earth's surface and this causes the warming of surface and increase in temperature of earth. Various gases such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide trap the heat radiations that enter the earth's surface and promotes greenhouse effect. Such gases are called greenhouse gases. Approximate contribution of different gases to greenhouse effect is as follows:
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2)- 60%
  • Methane (CH4)- 20%
  • Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC)- 14%
  • Nitrous oxide (N2O)- 6%
Hence, greenhouse effect is caused by combination of many gases.
So, the correct answer is 'Caused by combination of many gases'.

Whale washed ashore will die because of?

  1. Increase in body temperature

  2. Incapability to breathe

  3. Crushing of bones under body weight

  4. Cracking skin

A Correct answer
Explanation

Avails cannot try photo photo there are number of various reasons why they are unable to live on land first of all their bodies are not designed to hold the weight on the land which is unknown by and environment secondly they have a thick layer of blubber which is fatty tissue and lack of water well quickly overheat get dehydrated and try out the temperature of the water is essential for the survival correct option is increasing body temperature

Multiple choice zoology human influences on the environment carbon cycle ozone layer depletion and causes depletion of ozone layer

The most abundant greenhouse gas in the earth's atmosphere:

  1. Carbon dioxide $(CO _{2})$
  2. Nitrous oxide $(N _{2}O)$
  3. Water vapor $(H _{2}O)$
  4. Methane $(CH _{4})$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, though its concentration is highly variable and it is not typically considered a direct driver of anthropogenic climate change.

The green house gases, otherwise called radioactively active gases includes

  1. Carbon dioxide
  2. $CH _{4}$
  3. $N _{2}O$

  4. All of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) are all greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. They are called 'radiatively active' gases because they absorb and emit infrared radiation, though the question incorrectly states 'radioactively.' Each of these gases contributes to the natural greenhouse effect to varying degrees.

___________ is the phenomenon where the earth retains heat.

  1. Air pollution

  2. Green house effect

  3. Global effect

  4. Land pollution
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The greenhouse effect is the process by which greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, preventing it from escaping back into space and thereby warming the Earth.
