Which pair correctly relates amount and importance in the atmosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Carbon dioxide is present in a small amount but is important for climate.
Carbon dioxide forms only a small fraction of the atmosphere compared with nitrogen and oxygen, yet it has a major climatic and biological role. It absorbs outgoing longwave radiation and is used by plants in photosynthesis. Thus its amount and importance are not proportional. Nitrogen is abundant, oxygen is not zero, and argon is neither the most abundant nor the main respiratory gas.
