Question 7 • LA-World Geography A ? Distance Learning

According to many scientists, how does increased pollution cause global warming?

Answer

It causes acid rain, which leads to rising sea levels.

It results in chemicals finding their way to oceans, causing water temperatures to rise.

It leads to a decrease of ozone, which protects the Earth from the Sun’s heat.

It includes greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Explanation

Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb and re-emit heat, trapping some of it in Earth’s atmosphere. Increased pollution can add more of these gases, strengthening this heat-trapping effect and contributing to global warming. Therefore, the correct choice is D, “It includes greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere.”
