Detailed explanation-1: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is Oxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water Vapor. Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas, but because the warming ocean increases the amount of it in our atmosphere, it is not a direct cause of climate change.
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is Nitrogen.
Detailed explanation-4: -Burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth’s temperature. This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Detailed explanation-5: -Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
