The Correct answer is Only (c) and (d) are correct.

Important Points

  • The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without this atmosphere.
  • Radiatively active gases (i.e. greenhouse gases) in a planet's atmosphere radiate energy in all directions. Part of this radiation is directed towards the surface, thus warming it.
  • The intensity of downward radiation – that is, the strength of the greenhouse effect – depends on the number of greenhouse gases that the atmosphere contains. The temperature rises until the intensity of upward radiation from the surface, thus cooling it, balances the downward flow of energy.
The Greenhouse Gases are
  1. Carbon Dioxide 
  2. Water Vapour,
  3. Nitrogen Oxide (N2O),
  4. Methane
  5. Nitrogen oxide
  6. Ozone
  7. Fluorinated Gases
  8. Black Carbon
  9. Carbon Tetrachloride

In the question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the suggested course of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Uncontrolled release of greenhouse gases, have resulted in the degradation of the ozone layer and global warming. Courses of Action: I: The consumption of the items emitting greenhouse gases should be limited. II: The Government should enforce penalties on the industries that emit greenhouse gases beyond the permissible limits.
Rearrange the given 5 sentences A, B, C, D and E in proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph and mark the correct sequence from the given options as your answer. It is caused due to the greenhouse effect of increased level of green house gases such as carbon dioxide, CFCs, etc. There are various types of pollutants also which involved in increasing the atmospheric temperature of the earth. Water vapor is also a significant greenhouse gas which is not directly produced by humankind but involve in global warming hugely. Global warming is a gradual increase in the temperature of the earth surface and atmosphere all around the world. Increasing use of fossil fuels by the people and deforestation is increasing carbon dioxide emissions which trap heat and cause greenhouse effect.
With regard to greenhouse gases, which of the following statement(s) is true? 1. The primary greenhouse gases of concern today are Carbon dioxide and chloro-fluorocarbons, which absorb terrestrial radiation when it is present in the upper troposphere. 2. Ozone which absorbs ultraviolet radiation in the stratosphere is very effective in absorbing terrestrial radiation when it is present in the upper troposphere. 
In this question, a passage and a statement related to it have been given. Read carefully the verse and review the statement based on it. Delhi, which is one of India's capital an d one of the largest cities in the world, is undergoing severe crisis, due to its high level of urbanization, increasing population and high levels of pollution. Studies have proven that Are the biggest factors of pollution used for industrial and domestic use? And due to their use, people here emit large quantities of nitrogen oxides (NOx), ozone (O3), black carbon (BC) and microorganisms (PM). According to the 2015 Global Burden of Disease report, there were 1.09 million deaths due to PM 2.5 in India. Air pollution was included as one of the 10 biggest threats to health. According to the World Health Organization, 37 cities of India are among 100 worst polluted cities in the world, where PM10 was found to be the highest ever. For the production of ozone, together with sunlight and heat, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and organic compounds (VOCs) are needed simultaneously. Therefore, in the summer months, ozone is produced in large quantities in the cities. Statement: Air pollution is one of the top 10 factors affecting health in India. Select the most suitable from the following options A-statement is absolutely true B-statement is probably true C-statement can not be reviewed D-statement is completely false
