Question

Which one of the following statement is NOT correct?
(a) The processes that warm the atmosphere due to presence of Green House Gases are collectively, referred to as
the Green house effect
(b) Methane is not a Green House Gas
(c) The largest concentration of Green House Gases (GHGS) in the atmosphere is Carbon dioxide
(d) Ozone occurs in the stratosphere

A.

The processes that warm the atmosphere due to presence of Green House Gases are collectively, referred to as the Green house effect

B.

Methane is not a Green House Gas

C.

The largest concentration of Green House Gases (GHGS) in the atmosphere is Carbon dioxide

D.

Ozone occurs in the stratosphere

Correct option is B

The correct answer is option (b) Methane is not a Green House Gas

Methane (CH₄) is a significant greenhouse gas. It has a much greater heat-trapping ability than carbon dioxide, although it is present in smaller quantities in the atmosphere. It is indeed a greenhouse gas and contributes to global warming.

Information Booster:-

  • The Greenhouse effect refers to the warming of the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere due to the presence of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. These gases trap heat and prevent it from escaping into space.
  • Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere, primarily resulting from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.
  • The ozone layer is primarily found in the stratosphere, about 15 to 35 kilometers above the Earth's surface. Ozone plays a crucial role in absorbing harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun.
