by
A. Higher than at present
B. Lower than at present
C. The same as it is now
D. Much more variable than it is now
✅ The correct answer is option B.
Without this greenhouse effect, the average surface temperature would be 255 degrees kelvin (-18 degrees Celsius or 0 degrees Fahrenheit); a temperature so low that all water on Earth would freeze, the oceans would turn into ice and life, as we know it, would not exist.

1794. Many wild plant and animals are on the verge of extinction due to

by
A. Habitat destruction
B. Climatic changes

B. Mechanical
C. Wind
D. Thermal
✅ The correct answer is option A.

by
A. Conduction
B. Convection
C. Radiation
D. Latent heat
