Which gas in Earth's upper atmosphere is beneficial to humans because it absorbs large amounts of ultraviolet radiation?
methane
They are good absorbers of infrared radiation.
more carbon dioxide, which absorbs infrared radiation
use of fossil fuels
ozone
good absorber of infrared radiation
increased use of fossil fuels, and is predicted to increase average global temperatures
contribute to a gradual warming of the atmosphere
Deforestation increases the greenhouse effect on Earth because deforestation causes the atmosphere to contain
methane
They are good absorbers of infrared radiation.
more carbon dioxide, which absorbs infrared radiation
use of fossil fuels
ozone
good absorber of infrared radiation
increased use of fossil fuels, and is predicted to increase average global temperatures
contribute to a gradual warming of the atmosphere
Ice samples from continental glaciers provide evidence that today's atmosphere contains more carbon dioxide than ancient atmospheres did. This increase concerns scientists because increased carbon dioxide may

Why are carbon dioxide and water vapor called the greenhouse gases?
methane
They are good absorbers of infrared radiation.
more carbon dioxide, which absorbs infrared radiation
use of fossil fuels
ozone
good absorber of infrared radiation
increased use of fossil fuels, and is predicted to increase average global temperatures
contribute to a gradual warming of the atmosphere
The most likely cause of the overall change in the level of carbon dioxide from 1960 to 1990 is an increase in the
