Trifluoro methyl sulphurpentafluoride trap more heat.

The atmosphere contains many gases, most in small amounts, including some pollutants and greenhouse gases. The most abundant gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen, with oxygen second. Argon, an inert gas, is the third most abundant gas in the atmosphere.

Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. … Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightning strikes, and sulfur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions.

Animals that eat only plants are called herbivores (or primary consumers). Animals that eat other animals are called carnivores.

The first trophic level of the food chain is always occupied by green plants which are termed to be producers. This is because producers absorb sunlight, abiotic factor and fix it into food chain. This energy is transferred to organisms in other trophic levels of the food chain.
