Which of the following is Not a Greenhouse Gas?

Geography
1 answer:
polet [3.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

N₂

Explanation:

The primary greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapour and ozone. These gases allow sunlight to reach the Earth's surface unhindered. The sunlight heats the surface. The heat as infrared reradiated to the atmosphere, the greenhouse gases absorb the heat energy. They do not allow heat to escape back trapping' the gases in the lower atmosphere.

Nitrogen is an inert gas present in the atmosphere is about 78%.

Only some nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium which fixes atmospheric nitrogen into the soil.

Thus, N₂ (nitrogen) is not a greenhouse gas.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Condensation nuclei are important because they form the basic building blocks of clouds. The condensation nuclei are tiny particles on which water vapor molecules form to create the most basic elements of clouds.

Later, other water molecules continue grouping around the original condensation nuclei and get larger to form raindrops.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer: 99 dollars, I believe.

Explanation: If Adam already has 90 dollars then the amount he earns in interest will be 10% of that. You could divide 90 by 10 or you could do 90 x .10, which would both equal 9. Add that 9 to the 90 you already have and you get 99 dollars.

Explain the effects of air pollution on several European countries. (Site 1)
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Air pollution harms human health and the environment. In Europe, emissions of many air pollutants have decreased substantially over the past decades, resulting in improved air quality across the region. However, air pollutant concentrations are still too high, and air quality problems persist. A significant proportion of Europe’s population live in areas, especially cities, where exceedances of air quality standards occur: ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter (PM) pollution pose serious health risks. Several countries have exceeded one or more of their 2010 emission limits for four important air pollutants. Reducing air pollution therefore remains important.

Air pollution is a local, pan-European and hemispheric issue. Air pollutants released in one country may be transported in the atmosphere, contributing to or resulting in poor air quality elsewhere.

Particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone, are now generally recognised as the three pollutants that most significantly affect human health. Long-term and peak exposures to these pollutants range in severity of impact, from impairing the respiratory system to premature death. Around 90 % of city dwellers in Europe are exposed to pollutants at concentrations higher than the air quality levels deemed harmful to health. For example, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in air has been estimated to reduce life expectancy in the EU by more than eight months. Benzo(a)pyrene is a carcinogenic pollutant of increasing concern, with concentrations being above the threshold set to protect human health in several urban areas, especially in central and eastern Europe.

"Air pollution is causing damage to human health and ecosystems. Large parts of the population do not live in a healthy environment, according to current standards. To get on to a sustainable path, Europe will have to be ambitious and go beyond current legislation."
