Match each word to its correct meaning. 1. carbon sequestration carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, nitrogen oxides, and some CFCs that absorb heat and keep it in the earth's atmosphere 2. greenhouse effect technology used to capture the carbon released from smokestacks and store it in some part of the environment to keep it out of the atmosphere 3. greenhouse gas a term used to describe the role that greenhouse gases play in keeping the earth warm

1. Greenhouse gas.

2. Carbon sequestration.

3. Greenhouse effect.

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases can be defined as gases that trap heat within the Earth's atmosphere. Thus, an increase in global temperature is largely caused due to an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere.

Some examples of greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere are methane, water vapor, carbon dioxide etc.

Matching the descriptions with their term respectively, we have;

1. Greenhouse gas: carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, nitrogen oxides, and some CFCs that absorb heat and keep it in the earth's atmosphere

2. Carbon sequestration: it's a technology used to capture the carbon released from smokestacks and store it in some part of the environment to keep it out of the atmosphere. Thus, it's a process that is typically used for capturing and the long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide in soil, ocean, plants and geologic formation, so as to reduce global warming or climate change.

3. Greenhouse effect: it's a term used to describe the negative role that greenhouse gases such as methane, water vapor, carbon dioxide etc., play in keeping the earth warm.
