Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The greenhouse effect is a process by which atmospheric gases, including help warm the atmosphere and surface of Earth. Most scientists think the greenhouse effect is increasing due to human activities. Which of these human activities has caused the greatest increase in concentrations of atmospheric
A
planting trees
B
recycling aluminum
C
burning fossil fuels
D
using nuclear power
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, and water vapor. (Water vapor, which responds physically or chemically to changes in temperature, is called a “feedback.") Scientists have determined that carbon dioxide’s warming effect helps stabilize Earth’s atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and some is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solution: Greenhouse effect is a process by which solar radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases and the temperature of Earth’s atmosphere is increased. This increase in the temperature of the surroundings is responsible for global warming. Gases like Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapour, etc.
