Question

There are varying amounts of carbon IV oxide on the earth’s atmosphere. This gas traps IR energy resulting to increased heat. The table shows the percentage of carbon IV oxide, amount of the gas in each atmosphere relative to the earth and atmospheric densities. Data for 2 hypothetical planets K and M have been included;

Which statements below is correct

Answers

correct

Planet M experiences less global warming as it has a lower percentage of CO₂
Planet K experiences less global warming due to lower amount of CO₂ compared to the earth
Venus and mass experiences less global warming compared to other planets
Mars experiences more global warming than planet M

Explanation

From the passage, we are told that carbon IV oxide trap IR rays resulting to increased environmental heat. This implies that the higher the percentage of CO₂, the higher the amount of heat trapped. From the table, it is apparent that planet M has the highest percentage of CO₂and therefore experiences higher global warming compared to other planets.
