Volcanic eruptions are natural phenomena that release greenhouse gases, but they are not considered a primary cause of climate change compared to human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are the three main greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere.

Global warming refers to the observed increase in the Earth's average surface temperature over a long period, primarily due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

While climate change can have both positive and negative impacts on agricultural productivity in different regions, it is generally not considered a direct benefit.

Deforestation contributes to climate change by releasing carbon dioxide through the burning or decomposition of trees, reducing the Earth's albedo (reflectivity), and disrupting the water cycle.

Expanding fossil fuel exploration and extraction would increase greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change. The other options represent potential solutions to reduce emissions.

Resilience refers to the ability of an ecosystem to withstand and recover from disturbances or changes, such as those caused by climate change or human activities.

Sustainable development aims to balance economic growth with environmental protection and social equity, rather than prioritizing one over the other.

Environmental degradation can have negative impacts on economic growth by depleting resources, increasing production costs, and reducing the quality of life and productivity.

Reducing tariffs on imported goods is not directly related to addressing climate change and environmental degradation, although it may have broader economic implications.

A circular economy aims to minimize waste and resource depletion by reusing and recycling materials, extending product lifecycles, and designing products for circularity.

Green infrastructure, such as parks, green roofs, and permeable pavements, is designed to reduce pollution and improve environmental quality, not increase it.

Climate change can affect the distribution of infectious diseases by altering the geographic range of disease vectors, increasing the frequency and intensity of outbreaks, and potentially leading to the emergence of new diseases.

While environmental degradation can have negative impacts on human health, improved nutrition is generally not considered a direct consequence.

Decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation requires a combination of efforts, including investments in clean technologies, promoting energy efficiency and resource conservation, and transitioning to a circular economy model.
