Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of deforestation on carbon dioxide levels?
  • Step 1: Understand that trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air during a process called photosynthesis.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when trees are cut down or removed, there are fewer trees left to absorb CO2.
  • Step 3: Realize that with fewer trees, more CO2 remains in the atmosphere because there are not enough trees to take it in.
  • Step 4: Conclude that deforestation leads to an increase in CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
