Question

Which list contains three major greenhouse gases

found in Earth’s atmosphere?
(1) carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor
(2) carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen
(3) hydrogen, oxygen, and methane
(4) hydrogen, water vapor, and nitrogen

Answer 1

Which are referred to as greenhouse gases?

nitrogen and oxygen

oxygen and carbon dioxide

water vapor and oxygen

water vapor and carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer water vapor and carbon dioxide

The major gases involved in the greenhouse effect are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. These greenhouse gases, as they are often called, are transparent to solar radiation, and therefore much of this energy reaches Earth’s surface. Most of this energy is then reradiated skyward.

Answer 2

Although greenhouse gases such as water vapor, CO2, and methane naturally occur in smaller amounts, they absorb and release heat energy more efficiently than gases like N and O. (Nitrogen and Oxygen.)
So I would say (1) is the answer
