Read the following passage:Without trees returning water vapor back into the atmosphere, the water cycle becomes critically disrupted. When trees are cut down, there is no longer a canopy to shade the forest during the day and hold in heat at night. This results in extreme temperature swings. Finally, trees absorb greenhouse gasses that contribute to global warming. Fewer trees mean that more of these gasses are released into the atmosphere.Which statement best describes the main idea of this passage?A.Planting more trees can help reduce the energy costs of heating and cooling homes.B.The loss of trees has a major impact on the global climate.C.Global warming is caused by a lack of moisture in the atmosphere.D.People need to reduce their consumption of paper and lumber products.SUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS

- the planting of more trees to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.

In your own words, how has cutting down trees increase greenhouse gases?

Over the past 200 years, people have been cutting down forests all over the world at a very fast rate. This has added large amounts of carbon dioxide to our atmosphere. Part of the reason is that when trees are burned, they release carbon dioxide. Why else would cutting down trees increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? A. Trees make carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. B. Trees, like all plants, use up carbon dioxide. C. Trees provide shelter for other living things that produce carbon dioxide. D. Trees give shade, which cools Earth's surface.

Analyze how rising temperatures due to global warming affect the population size of:o Tall deciduous trees

In some parts of the world, rain forests are being cut down to make land available for new homes. How does the loss of these trees impact the carbon cycle?*1 pointThe trees will no longer be able to undergo photosynthesis which will decrease the amount of oxygen within the atmosphereThe trees will no longer be able to undergo photosynthesis which will decrease the amount of carbon removed from the atmosphereThe trees will no longer be able to undergo respiration which will cause the amount of carbon within the atmosphere to be removed.The trees will no longer be able to undergo respiration which will decrease the amount of fossil fuels produced.
