Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of deforestation on the carbon cycle? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand that trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air during photosynthesis.
  • Step 2: Realize that when trees are cut down (deforestation), they can no longer absorb CO2.
  • Step 3: Know that when trees are removed, the carbon stored in them is released back into the atmosphere, especially if they are burned.
  • Step 4: Recognize that this increase in CO2 in the atmosphere contributes to climate change and global warming.
