(a) carbon dioxide
(b) methane
(c) nitrous oxide
(d) water vapour
Answers
The most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is Water vapour.
Water vapour helps to increase the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing more thermal energy released by the earth's surface.
When normal levels of heat are taken in, it leads to a "positive feedback loop".
Excessive absorption of heat leads to increase of temperature.
The most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is Water vapour. Water vapour is one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases which helps to trap the solar energy which the earth recieve in a huge extent and it does increase the average temperature of the earth in the huge extent.
It forms a loop of heated water vapour and it causes a lot of trapping of the solar energy which ultimately increase the average temperature of the earth.
