All of the above are correct.Methane (CH,) is one of the trace gases in the atmosphere that is considered to play a major role in what is called the "greenhouse effect". There are six major sources of atmospheric methane: emission from anaerobic decomposition in (1) natural wetlands and (2) paddy rice fields; (3) emission from livestock production systems (including intrinsic fermentation and animal waste); (4) biomass burning (including forest fires, charcoal combustion, and firewood burning); (5) anaerobic decomposition of organic waste in landfills, and (6) fossil methane emission during the exploration and transport of fossil fuels. Obviously, human activities play a major role in increasing methane emissions from most of these sources. Especially the worldwide expansion of paddy rice cultivation, livestock production and fossil fuel exploration have increased the methane concentration in the atmosphere.
