How does deforestation lead to climate change?
a cutting trees releases stored methane, and there will be less trees to remove methane from the atmosphere
b cutting trees released stored carbon, and there will be less trees to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
c cutting trees releases stored oxygen, and there will be less trees to remove oxygen from the atmosphere
d cutting trees releases stored nitrogen, and there will be less trees to remove nitrous oxide from the atmosphere
b cutting trees released stored carbon, and there will be less trees to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Deforestation leads to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere as trees store carbon and when they are cut down, this stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere. This excess carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect and ultimately leads to climate change. Additionally, trees play a crucial role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis, so fewer trees means less carbon dioxide is being removed from the atmosphere.
