2. (Sample answer) i) Burning fossil fuels ii) Industrial emissions iii) Deforestation and burning of biomass
3. (Sample answer) Eutrophication is the process of excessive nutrient enrichment in a water body, usually due to the runoff of fertilizers from agricultural fields or sewage. This leads to the overgrowth of algae, depleting oxygen levels and causing the death of aquatic organisms.

Section C:

1. (Sample answer)
   • Sun’s radiation
   • Greenhouse gases (e.g., carbon dioxide, methane)
   • Heat radiation from Earth’s surface
2. (Sample answer) The greenhouse effect traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, preventing it from escaping into space. This trapped heat leads to an increase in global temperatures, causing global warming.
