Question

State whether the following statement is true or false.

Greenhouse effect is due to acid rain.

Answer 1

This statement is false.

Explanation: 

The greenhouse effect is caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere, which trap heat and lead to global warming. Acid rain, on the other hand, is caused by the increased concentration of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NO_x) in the atmosphere, which form acids that precipitate with rain. Although both are environmental problems, they have different causes and effects.
