Question

Green house effect is warming due to
(a) infra-red rays reaching earth
(b) moisture layer in atmosphere
(c) increase in temperature due to increase in
carbon dioxide concentration of atmosphere
(d) ozone layer of atmosphere

Answer 1

Answer:

increase in temperature due to increase in carbon dioxide concentration of atmosphere. this is right answer....

Answer 2

Answer is option "c"

Explanation:

• Greenhouse effect refers to the absorption of the sun's radiations by the atmospheric gases like carbon dioxide and trapping of these radiations within the atmosphere.
• These are subsequently reflected onto the earth's surface and cause an increase in the global temperature, called global warming. Infra-red radiations reaching earth will not increase the temperature.
• Moisture layer in the atmosphere does not show the greenhouse effect. Ozone layer in atmosphere absorbs the UV within stratosphere so that they do not reach the earth's surface.
• Hence, the correct answer is option c " increase in temperature due to increase in carbon dioxide concentration of atmosphere".
