Question

Which compares the gases most commonly released by fertilizers and gases from landfills?(1 point) Responses Chemicals from fertilizers can release nitrous oxide, while landfills release methane. Chemicals from fertilizers can release nitrous oxide, while landfills release methane. Chemicals from fertilizers can release methane, while landfills release nitrous oxide. Chemicals from fertilizers can release methane, while landfills release nitrous oxide. Chemicals from fertilizers can release methane, while landfills release carbon dioxide. Chemicals from fertilizers can release methane, while landfills release carbon dioxide. Chemicals from fertilizers can release carbon dioxide, while landfills release methane

Answer 1

The correct comparison is: "Chemicals from fertilizers can release nitrous oxide, while landfills release methane."

Fertilizers are known to contribute to the release of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, while landfills primarily produce methane (CH4) as organic materials decompose anaerobically.
