Acid rain is produced by oxides of sulfur together with oxides of:

Answer: nitrogen.

  • A nitrogen
  • B carbon
  • C hydrogen
  • D helium

Correct answer: A. nitrogen

Explanation: Sulfur and nitrogen oxides dissolve in rain to form acids.

The (Enhanced) Greenhouse Effectsunlight inEarth's surfaceheat (IR) radiated backtrapped by CO₂, CH₄, etc.greenhouse gas layerMore greenhouse gases (human activity) = more heat trapped = enhanced warming

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.

Concept context

Pollution, global warming, ozone depletion, deforestation, and sustainability. Important for NEET and general awareness.
