Question

The increasing amount of carbon dioxide in the air is slowly raising the temperature of the atmosphere, because it absorbs

(a) the water vapour of the air and retains its heat
(b) the ultraviolet part of the solar radiation
(c) all the solar radiations
(d) the infrared part of the solar radiation

Answer 1

The increasing amount of carbon dioxide in the air is slowly raising the temperature of the atmosphere, because it absorbs (d) the infrared part of the solar radiation

Explanation:

• Carbon-oxide is one of the greenhouse gases which are responsible for the greenhouse effect

• Greenhouse gas is causing global warming

• The greenhouse effect is the process where solar radiations come to the earth but get absorbed by the envelope of greenhouse gases

• These gases entrap a portion of radiations due to which only a portion of them gets reflected

• These entrapped radiations are raising the temperature of the atmosphere
