If we are talking about one single carbon atom, then 4 hydrogen atoms can be bonded to a carbon atom, because there is 4 electrons in the valence shell, and a valence shell needs 8 electrons in total, which causes the carbon to have 4 open bonds. A hydrogen has only one electron in its valence shell of 2, and needs one more to complete it. So, each hydrogen connects to 1 of 4 bonds on the carbon to complete the valence electron.
Fun fact, CH4 is methane.

Imagine a root of a cotton plant growing in the upper horizon of an irrigated soil in california's imperial valley. as the root
devlian [24]

A root of a cotton plant must overcome various potential forces such as gravitational forces that pulls water downward, matric forces where there is an adhesion of water molecules from a soil and osmotic forces where attracting water in the presence of large amount of soluble salts in the mixture of soil.

If the soil were compacted by a heavy vehicle, the matric forces would be mostly affected for compaction will result to increase matric forces due to reduced size of pores of the soil making it more difficult to draw water from a solid surface.

How do greenhouse gases such as CO2 and N2O contribute to an increase in Earth’s atmospheric temperature?
IRINA_888 [86]

These greenhouse gases are trapping the heat inside the atmosphere. When more of these gases are released, it contributes to global warming and the melting of many polar areas that could potentially cause a natural disaster in the future.
