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.
6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
Therefore, cutting down trees increases the carbon dioxide with more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, a lot of heat will escape on the atmosphere causing our average temperature to rise and this will cause climate change. Deforestation …show more content…
These fossil fuels were formed hundreds of millions of years ago, and they still contain the carbon that was present in the organisms when they died. This carbon is what makes them a source of energy.
But when we burn coal, oil, and natural gas for fuel, too much carbon enters the atmosphere at one time. The carbon combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases are contributing to global warming because they trap more of the Sun's energy in the Earth's atmosphere therefore, this causes global warming.
Burning of coal and diesel releases sulphur dioxide gas. This gas is extremely corrosive and suffocating in nature. Petrol gives off oxides of nitrogen. The oxides of sulfur and nitrogen get dissolved in rainwater and form acids. This is known as acid rain. This water is very harmful to plants, animals, and various …show more content…
If an earthquake’s epicentre is near a forest, it may knock trees down. When this happens, it allows sunlight to penetrate the canopy, which allows the growth of different types of plants. Tress reduce the amount of carbon dioxide on the earth by changing the carbon dioxide into oxygen therefore, if tress fall down, the amount of carbon dioxide will increase causing global warming. if earthquakes are on the seafloor then they affect the plates there - sediment changes and gas release. Plus, large quakes can create tidal waves/tsunamis which will affect a landmass if they reach
