Question

question 1 of 10
which action would most likely increase the greenhouse effect?
a. use more nuclear power plants
b. burn more oil for heating homes
c. stop cutting trees in the amazon forest
d. encourage people to conserve power

Explanation:

Burning oil releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Nuclear power (A) doesn't emit CO₂. Trees (C) absorb CO₂. Power conservation (D) reduces energy use (and thus CO₂ emissions if energy is from fossil fuels). So burning more oil (B) increases the greenhouse effect.

Answer:

B. Burn more oil for heating homes
