Question

The greenhouse effect is because of the ______.

पर्याय

• presence of gases, which in general are strong infrared absorbers, in the atmosphere

• presence of CO₂ only in the atmosphere

• pressure of O₃ and CH₄ in the atmosphere

• N₂O and chlorofluorohydrocarbons in the atmosphere

Answer 1

The greenhouse effect is because of the presence of gases, which in general are strong infrared absorbers, in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases such as CO₂, ozone, methane, chlorofluorocarbon compounds, and water vapour form a thick layer around the earth, preventing IR rays from escaping. It gradually raises the temperature of the atmosphere.
