How do greenhouse gases such as co2 and n2o contribute to an increase in earth’s atmospheric temperature? a> greenhouse gases interact with infrared photons and reflect them back to earth’s surface. b> greenhouse gases chemically react with one another, releasing heat in the process. c> greenhouse gases agitate visible light photons, increasing the photons’ temperature and motion energy. d> greenhouse gases generate internal heat through radioactive decay, similar to the core of earth.

A>Greenhouse gases interact with infrared photons and reflect them back to Earth’s surface.

Explanation:

The earth naturally maintains the heat energy balance by absorbing a sufficient amount of sunlight energy by the terrestrial land and then reverting back the excess sunlight energy back to the space. The increase in abundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere results in absorption of sunlight energy which contains infrared photons this is responsible for increasing the global temperature levels hence, responsible for global warming. These infrared photons are reflected to the earth surface instead of sending back to the space. This is responsible for disturbing the heat balance.

the answer to this predicament is false, by friend, i had this on a quiz, and i got it wrong, so i learned it, cos i was gonna have it on a test, and i got it right
