Which one of the following statements is false? Group of answer choices Water plays the main role in the increase in the mean global temperature referred to as global warming. Water does not cause global warming because the atmospheric lifetime of water vapor is short. The amount of energy absorbed when water evaporates is large due to its strong intermolecular forces. Water absorbs the greatest percentage of infrared radiation being emitted by the earth. The energy when released water condenses heats the atmosphere and fuels storms.
Which of the following statements accurately describes water vapor? The liquid phase of water is water vapor Water vapor is the water's solid phase. Water vapor is water in its gaseous state All of the above The zone composed of air, water, and soil is referred to as Atmosphere Biosphere Hydrosphere Lithosphere 3.Do greenhouse gases serve any purpose on Earth? No, they merely block a portion of the Sun's rays. They do, in fact, keep the Earth warm. Yes, they do maintain all of the gases on our planet in place. No, they merely contribute to catastrophic climate change.

What is a potential role of methanogens in global warming? Methanogens produce methane, which traps more heat than carbon dioxide and may contribute to global warming. Methanogens convert carbon dioxide into methane, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and effectively decreasing global warming. The methane that methanogens produce during sludge digestion of wastewater treatment is burned so that it does not contribute to global warning. Methanogens convert methane gas produced by organic waste into carbon dioxide, decreasing global warming.
