Which gas can contribute to the greenhouse effect along with water vapour?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is correct because it absorbs outgoing infrared radiation and contributes to the greenhouse effect, just as water vapour does. Water vapour is the most abundant greenhouse gas, while carbon dioxide is an important long-lived greenhouse gas whose concentration is strongly affected by human activities. Argon and nitrogen do not significantly absorb infrared radiation, and “dust stone” is not a gas.
