Question

During digestion, cows produce methane gas, a carbon-containing compound. The methane gets released into the atmosphere. How might this process affect the global environment? A. Methane eats ozone, which accelerates the growth of the ozone hole. B. Methane removes carbon from the atmosphere, which may help eliminate global warming. C. The methane kills bacteria that are essential for the recycling of nutrients into the soil. D. Methane adds carbon to the atmosphere, which may help promote global warming.

Answer 1

D

Methane gas is more potent( roughly by 30 times), as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap infrared radiation (responsible for the transfer of heat) that reflects off of the earth's surface instead of allowing most of this radiation to escape to space. This causes heat to build up in the atmosphere. The more the greenhouse molecules are in the atmosphere the higher this effect is. Global warming is subsequently blamed for climate change around the world.
