Answer: sulphur dioxide.
- A oxygen
- B nitrogen
- C helium
- D sulphur dioxide
Correct answer: D. sulphur dioxide
Explanation: A scrubber removes gases such as sulphur dioxide by passing the exhaust through a spray of water or lime, reducing acidic gas emissions.
Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface; the surface re-radiates this energy as infrared heat, which greenhouse gases (CO₂, CH₄, water vapour) absorb and trap - a naturally beneficial process that intensifies into global warming as gas concentrations rise from human activity.
