Answer: D.All of the above.
Methane is a colourless odourless gas that develops abundantly in nature.
A.Breakdown of plant and animal remains in the soil: The plant and animal remains contains large amount of organic matter, which is decomposed by soil bacteria. This process results in formation of methane gas. The process takes place in the absence of oxygen, hence, called as anaerobic decomposition. This gas gets liberated to the external environment.
B. Leakage from natural gas pipelines: The natural gas is obtained as a fossil fuel from deep layers of the earth. This gas is excavated in order to use it as fuel to run vehicles and for cooking food. The gas may liberate to the external environment by leakage.
C. Food digestion by land animals: The land animals such as cow and buffalo discharge dung, which is a rich source of methane. The methane gets liberated from the cow dung to the external environment.
Therefore, all processes are responsible for liberation of methane to the external environment.
All of the above the following processes add methane (CH₄) to the atmosphere.All the options are correct.Hence D is the correct option.
What is methane?
Methane is a colorless, odorless gas that occurs naturally in large quantities.
A.Soil bacteria digest plant and animal remnants: Plant and animal remains include a huge quantity of organic materials, which soil bacteria degrade.
Methane gas is produced as a result of this process. Anaerobic decomposition is a type of breakdown that occurs in the absence of oxygen. This gas is then released into the atmosphere.
B. Natural gas pipeline leakage: Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is extracted from deep layers of the earth.
This gas is mined in order to use it as a source of energy for cars and cooking. Leakage might allow the gas to escape into the environment.
C. Food digestion in land animals: Land animals digest food in a variety of ways.
Hence option D is correct.
