    Deforestation increase the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because when trees are burned carbon dioxide is released, carbon dioxide is also, released when trees are decomposed by microorganisms. Cutting down trees also, reduces the amount of carbon dioxides taken up by the photosynthesis and trapped in the wood and carbon dioxide is greenhouse gas therefore, Trees play a huge role in the carbon cycle. They convert the CO2 in the air to oxygen, through the process of photosynthesis.…

    the air, is called dry deposition. However, wet deposition is in the form of precipitation. As a result of chemicals being released from human productions, great amounts of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are respired into the atmosphere, where rain and gas matter is polluted. Once both sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide come in contact with water or oxygen, acids are formed. Devastation extremes are directly related to the acidic concentration within deposition. High amounts of chemicals…

    million in 1980s (pg. 98). Deforestation and forest degradation is a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. Forests have a vital role to play in the fight against global warming. Forests and it soil can help absorb and store carbon dioxide and harmful gasses, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and release oxygen (Schimel p.135), but if forests are cleared or disturbed we will lose out on the benefits of having tons of tress. Trees can converse water to air vapor which help reduce heat. According…

    Acid rain results in many ecological effects, with the most severe of these affects being its impact on lakes, streams, and aquatic environments in general. It negatively affects marine life, because acid rain makes waters acidic, causing the absorption of Aluminum; which is a combination that threatens some aquatic animals. As the acidity of water increases, the number of fish and marine animals in general decline. Although, there are some species that are able to survive in acidic water,…

    amount of impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen. These impurities make bunker fuel extremely cheap for ship operators, but has a much more negative effect on the environment, as when the fuel is burnt the impurities are released into the atmosphere.  Rain is naturally slightly acidic because it combines with carbon dioxide when it falls through the atmosphere and forms carbonic acid (H_2 CO_3), lowering the pH of rain to around 5.6. However, the release of nitrogen and sulfur from burning…
