T/F:Some greenhouse gases are naturally present in the Earth’s atmosphere
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Greenhouse gases occur naturally and are part of our atmosphere’s makeup. For that reason, Earth is sometimes called the “Goldilocks” planet – its conditions are not too hot and not too cold, but just right to allow life (including us) to flourish.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Earth has a natural greenhouse effect due to trace amounts of water vapour (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 2020, CO2 accounted for about 79% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. Carbon dioxide is naturally present in the atmosphere as part of the Earth’s carbon cycle (the natural circulation of carbon among the atmosphere, oceans, soil, plants, and animals).
