Name three greenhouse gases.

• Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon

• Carbon dioxide, Methane, Water vapor

• Helium, Hydrogen, Neon

• Sulfur dioxide, Ammonia, Carbon monoxide

What role do greenhouse gases play in the greenhouse effect?

• They cool the atmosphere by reflecting sunlight.

• They trap heat released by the Earth, contributing to the warming of the atmosphere.

• They have no effect on the Earth's temperature.

• They increase the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.

Which gas is NOT a greenhouse gas?

• Carbon Dioxide

• Methane

• Nitrogen

• Ozone

What is the significance of the ozone layer in relation to the greenhouse effect?

• The ozone layer contributes to the greenhouse effect by trapping heat.

• The ozone layer protects the Earth from harmful UV radiation but does not directly contribute to the greenhouse effect.

• The ozone layer is a major factor in climate change.

• The ozone layer helps in the formation of greenhouse gases.

What happens to solar energy when it reaches Earth?

• All solar energy is absorbed by the Earth.

• Some solar energy is reflected, some is absorbed by land and water, and some is radiated back into the atmosphere.

• Solar energy is completely converted into heat.

• Solar energy has no effect on the Earth's surface.

What is the difference between natural and anthropogenic greenhouse gases?

• Natural greenhouse gases are produced by human activities.

• Natural greenhouse gases are produced by natural processes, while anthropogenic greenhouse gases are emitted by human activities.

• Natural greenhouse gases have no impact on climate change, while anthropogenic greenhouse gases do.

• Natural greenhouse gases are only found in urban areas, while anthropogenic greenhouse gases are found in rural areas.

What is the greenhouse effect?

• A process that cools the Earth by reflecting sunlight back into space.

• A natural process where certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat, preventing it from escaping back into space, which helps to keep the planet warm.

• A method of generating energy from the sun's rays.

• A phenomenon that occurs only in urban areas due to pollution.

What is the relationship between the greenhouse effect and climate change?

• The greenhouse effect has no impact on climate change.

• The enhanced greenhouse effect due to increased greenhouse gases leads to climate change.

• Climate change is solely caused by human activities unrelated to the greenhouse effect.

• The greenhouse effect only affects weather patterns, not climate change.

• Decreased ocean levels.

• Increased biodiversity.

• More frequent earthquakes.
