How is the amount of carbon dioxide generally in the atmosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Very small but important for climate
Carbon dioxide occurs in a very small proportion of the atmosphere compared with nitrogen and oxygen, but it has an important climatic role because it absorbs outgoing infrared radiation. It is therefore a greenhouse gas despite its low concentration. Option C is correct. It is neither the most abundant gas nor equal to nitrogen or greater than oxygen.
