Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.45QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Sulfur dioxide
Concept Introduction:
- Atmosphere: The air that is layer of gases which surrounds the earth due to gravity of earth. The earth atmosphere consists various gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide
- Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors.
- Greenhouse gases are the gases that trap heat in the atmosphere.
