Which of the following gases is primarily responsible for the greenhouse effect leading to global warming?
easy Q1 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand the greenhouse effect
The greenhouse effect is caused by gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.Step 2: Identify the main greenhouse gas
Carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas produced by burning fossil fuels. Nitrogen, oxygen, and argon are major atmospheric gases but do not contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect.Final Answer:
Carbon dioxide → Option BQuick Check:
Greenhouse gas causing global warming = Carbon dioxide ✅
Quick Trick: Remember CO2 as the main greenhouse gas from fossil fuels.
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing nitrogen or oxygen as greenhouse gases.
