Ozone is made of which chemical element?

• Carbon

• Hydrogen

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

The greenhouse effect is about

• warming the atmosphere because of increased CO₂ levels

• warming the atmosphere because of decreased CO_{2 }levels

• cooing the atmosphere because of increased CO_{2 }levels

• cooling the atmosphere because of decreased CO_{2 }levels
