Question
__________ is a greenhouse gas.
- Nitrogen
- Oxygen
- Ozone
- Carbon dioxide
Hint:
CO2
The correct answer is: Carbon dioxide
- Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is one of several greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
- So, the correct option is d.
- They are referred to as greenhouse gases because, like the glass of a greenhouse, they let visible light from the Sun pass through the atmosphere and they absorb long-wavelength infrared energy from the Earth and keep the atmosphere warm.
- Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other gases that accumulate in the atmosphere and create the heat-reflective layer.

Which of the following is explained by theory of plate tectonics?
- Big Bang theory explains how the universe began.
- Gravity is not same everywhere on Earth, but it varies because the planet is not perfectly spherical or uniformly dense and also due to it's rotation.
- Since the forces that generate our magnetic field are constantly changing, the field itself is also in continual flux, its strength waxing and waning over time.
