- Nitrous Oxide (N2O)- Ozone (O3)- Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) Step 3: Analyze the OptionsNow, we need to analyze the options provided in the question to identify which one is not a greenhouse gas. Based on our knowledge:- Water Vapor: Greenhouse gas- Carbon Dioxide: Greenhouse gas- ...
<p>To determine which of the following is not a greenhouse gas, we need to first understand what greenhouse gases are and their role in the environment.</p><p>1. <strong>Definition of Greenhouse Gases</strong>: Greenhouse gases are gases that absorb infr
A greenhouse gas is a type of gas that is found in the atmosphere, which has the ability to trap and absorb the sun's radiation. Greenhouse gases...Become a member and unlock all Study Answers Start today. Try it now Create an account Ask a question Our experts can...
We argue that such an increase in biomass harvest would result in younger forests, lower biomass pools, depleted soil nutrient stocks and a loss of other ecosystem functions. The proposed strategy is likely to miss its main objective, i.e. to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, because it...
Greenhouse gas emissions are a leading cause of climate change. The release of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and fluorinated gases (including hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and others) can create a “greenhouse effect,”...
Nitrification can cause the emission of the greenhouse gas N2O as a byproduct, but exists different mechanisms in AOB and AOA. N2O emission from AOB strains occurs via hydroxylamine (NH2OH) oxidation and nitrifier denitrification pathways17,18,19, whereas AOA-mediated emission primarily arises from...

What is a greenhouse gas? Fundamentally, a greenhouse gas is a gas which is partially opaque to the infrared radiation emitted by earth’s surface. Most of them are also transparent to incoming solar radiation, but not all of them: ozone, in particular, is opaque to the incoming ultraviolet...
This is where the need to control greenhouse gas emissions arises. Many of the greenhouse gases except for the industrial ones can be cleaned up by the Earth naturally. The earth’s green cover and its natural ecosystems have an important role to play in this clean up. Our role would be ...
Nitrous oxide (N2O) Ozone (O3) Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs and HCFCs) Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) Perfluorocarbons The impact of any greenhouse gas on the temperature of the Earth is determined by its chemical composition and relative concentration in the atmosphere. Some gases have a great capacity ...
