Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The greenhouse effect warms the Earth. Moreover, human activities are continuously increasing the levels of greenhouse effects. Due to this, the temperature of the Earth’s surface is increasing day by day. Right now, it is considered that the burning of fossil fuel is the reason for the increase in the greenhouse effect. The important greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, ozone, nitrous oxide, and methane.

The three images below are snapshots of the atmospheric CO2 concentration in May, July, and September of a year. To interpret the CO2 concentration:
blue/green/yellow indicates lower to medium CO2 concentrations and red/maroon/pink indicates medium-high to highest CO2 concentrations.
Question: Which of the phenomena described below best explains why CO2 concentrations are lowest in the summer when compared to the
spring or fallI/winter?
