Question

which of these causes the atmosphere to change?

ncreased inorganic matter in soil

increased use of fertilizers on crops

increased buildup of greenhouse gases

increased rainfall rates near power plants

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases (like carbon dioxide) trap heat in the atmosphere. An increased buildup of these gases leads to changes in the atmosphere, such as global warming. Inorganic matter in soil affects soil properties. Fertilizers on crops mainly impact soil and water (e.g., eutrophication in water bodies). Increased rainfall near power plants might be a local weather - related effect but not a major cause of overall atmospheric change compared to greenhouse gas buildup.

Answer:

increased buildup of greenhouse gases
