Scientist: A greenhouse gas, for example, carbon dioxide, forms a transparent layer that traps solar heat beneath it in the earth's atmosphere. Atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide are currently increasing, causing the climate to warm-an effect that is predicted by at least one computer model of the greenhouse effect. But the warming that has occurred is a great deal less than what would be expected based on the model. Therefore, .

Which of the following most logically completes the scientist's argument?

A. better measurements of atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide are needed
B. the definition of "greenhouse gas" should probably be reconsidered
C. there are factors besides the increase in greenhouse-gas emissions contributing to the warming of the climate
D. the computer model of the greenhouse effect must be incorrect in some respect
E. the likely consequences of any warming of the climate are unlikely to be much less damaging than predicte

D. the computer model of the greenhouse effect must be incorrect in some respect

Explanation:

According to the scientists, carbon dioxide is playing a major role in green house effect. Increasing carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere is also leading to an increase in global warming. To predict this situation, a computer model of greenhouse effect is also created. It aims at predicting the warming level based on some simulations.

However the model's prediction does not match with real life observations. It predicts the warming to be lot more than observed in reality. This error can be a result of some technical issue in the computer model. Also, real life observations are based on many factors and the given computer model is based just on the level of carbon dioxide in atmosphere. So it might have calculated incorrect warming level.

answer and explanation;

volcanic rocks are igneous rocks which form from lava, molten rock which has been thrust out of a volcano onto the surface of a rocky body such as an asteroid, planet, or dwarf planet.  

plutonic rocks are igneous rocks which form from subterranean chambers of molten rock or magma. plutonic rocks make up the base of continental crust as well as oceanic crust. their slow rate of formation causes them to be coarse grained since there is plenty of time for large crystals to form before the magma solidifies into rock.

the textural difference is that plutonic rocks are more coarse grained than volcanic rocks. plutonic rocks are coarse grained while volcanic are fine grained ; glassey or fragmental. since fine and coarse are adjectives the decision as to whether a rock is fine or coarse grained is generally made on the bases of whether or not the individual crystals can be seen in most if the rock.
