The three natural GHGs in the atmosphere are:
- Carbon dioxide concentrations were 280 ppm in the late 1700s rising to 401 ppm today. The 1700 value is probe;y close to natural/
- Methane in the atmosphere was about 900 ppm in preindustrial times and is now 1,800 ppb
- Nitrous oxide in the atmosphere rarely exceeded 280 ppb since prehistoric times.It is now 328 ppb
These data indicate that nitrous oxides are the lowest naturally occurring GHG.

Which of these are the most abundant greenhouse gas A Carbon Dioxide B Methane C Ozone D Water?
Water is the most abundant greenhouse gas out of the choices.
Does nature produce greenhouse gases?
Natural gas is a greenhouse gas, methane, and when it is burnt it releases the other greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
Does natural gas cause greenhouse gas?
Yes. Natural gas is mostly methane, which is a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide. Burning natural gas produces carbon dioxide, though not as much as oil or coal.
What is the most abundant gas in out atmosphere?
The least abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere is argon at 0.93%. The most abundant gas is oxygen at 78%.
Is natural gas considered to be positive or negative for the environment?
Negative. Natural gas (methane) is a dangerous greenhouse gas causing global warming and climate change. Burning it releases carbon dioxide, another powerful greenhouse gas. There is no way natural gas is positive for the environment.

What gas is the least abundant in the atmosphere?
the least abundant gas in our atmosphere is Argon
What is the most abundant greenhouse gas?
Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, accounting for somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 of the total effect. CO2 is the next most abundant.

How water vapour as a greenhouse gas contributes to the greenhouse effect?
Water vapour is a greenhouse gas that traps heat rising from the surface of the earth. In doing so it contributes to the natural greenhouse effect.
What potent greenhouse gas found in natural deposits and landfills?
Methane. It's also called natural gas.
What is the most abundant compound in natural gas?
Methane: CH4
Is it true that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas?
The most common greenhouse gas for the natural greenhouse effect is water vapour. Man has no control over its levels. When it gets too high, it falls as rain.The most common greenhouse gas responsible for the accelerated greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide (CO2), the high levels of which we are responsible for. CO2 is having the largest effect on the recent increases in global temperature.
What gas in the earth's atmosphere is the least abundant?
Argon at about 1%
