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

Statement analysis:

(A) is correct. The natural greenhouse effect maintains Earth's average temperature around 15°C, enabling habitability. Without this effect, the average temperature would be approximately -18°C.
(B) is correct. Natural processes, such as respiration, volcanic activity, and decomposition, release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.
(C) is correct. This accurately describes the greenhouse effect's role.
(D) is correct. The prevailing scientific view attributes current global warming primarily to increased greenhouse gas concentrations resulting from human activities.

All statements presented are factually accurate. The question appears to contain an error, as it requests an incorrect statement, which is not present.
