1. Which of the following is NOT a primary greenhouse gas?
Carbon Dioxide
Methane
Nitrogen
Water Vapor
2. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that:
Cools the Earth's surface
Heats the Earth's surface
Causes volcanic eruptions
Creates the ozone layer
3. The increase in global average temperature due to enhanced greenhouse effect is known as .
4. Greenhouse gases absorb and re-emit radiation, preventing it from escaping into space.
