Question

Choose an incorrect statement about Green House Effect.

• A. Life on earth is possible due to the greenhouse effect.
• B. The emission of greenhouse gases is a natural process.
• C. The greenhouse effect maintains the earth's temperature.
• D. Increased emission of greenhouse gases emissions into the atmosphere is linked to global warming.

Hint:

Distinguish between the natural greenhouse effect (which is essential for life) and the enhanced greenhouse effect (which is causing global warming due to human activity). All the statements provided are scientifically accepted facts.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let's analyze each statement:

(A) is correct. The natural greenhouse effect keeps the Earth's average temperature at about 15°C, making it habitable. Without it, the average temperature would be about -18°C.
(B) is correct. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are emitted through natural processes like respiration, volcanic eruptions, and decomposition.
(C) is correct. This is the definition of the greenhouse effect's function.
(D) is correct. The scientific consensus is that the increased concentration of greenhouse gases due to human activities is the primary driver of current global warming.
All the provided statements are factually correct. There seems to be an error in the question as it asks for an incorrect statement.
