• The process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.

• The process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere cools the planet's surface

• The process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere causes extreme weather conditions

• The process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere has no effect on the planet's surface temperature

What is the difference between weather and climate?

• Weather only includes temperature, while climate includes all weather elements

• Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific area, while climate refers to long-term patterns of temperature, precipitation, and other weather elements in a region.

Explain the concept of carbon footprint and its impact on the environment.

• The concept of carbon footprint is the total amount of oxygen emitted directly or indirectly by human activities, which contributes to climate change and global warming.

• The concept of carbon footprint and its impact on the environment is the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly or indirectly by human activities, which contributes to climate change and global warming.

• Carbon footprint is the total amount of plastic waste generated by human activities, which has no impact on the environment.

• Carbon footprint has no impact on the environment and is just a made-up concept by environmentalists.

What are two common sources of water pollution?

• Plastic waste and noise pollution

• Household cleaning products and bottled water

• Air pollution and deforestation

• Industrial waste and agricultural runoff

How can plastic pollution be reduced in oceans and water bodies?
