Question
___________is not a greenhouse gas.
- sulphur dioxide
- Methane
- Nitrous oxide
- CFC’s
Hint:
The greenhouse gases absorb and emit infrared radiation in the wavelength range emitted by the earth. The gas from the above options that are not greenhouse gas is the one responsible for the smell of burnt matches. It is a toxic gas.
The correct answer is: sulphur dioxide
Sulphur dioxide is not a greenhouse gas.
The gases that absorb the energy from radiations that come from the sun and then emit it back are called greenhouse gases.

__________ is a greenhouse gas.
- 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.
