9.the tropical rain forest is the… (humans are destroying the rain forests)
10.during some periods of time there… (when a society experiences a cultural crisis)
yooo das wrong^^^ i think the multiple choices are switched around for every quiz, buut yaaaaah it do be like dat sometimes
changing climate=>heating>heat being held in the ecosphere>carbondioxide.
its D Carbon Dioxide
Jack is right, you just have to pay attention to the order switch.

To determine the leading cause of Earth's changing climate between nitrous oxide (option B) and carbon dioxide (option D), we need to examine their respective contributions to the greenhouse effect and climate change.
Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas primarily emitted from agricultural and industrial activities. Although it is a potent greenhouse gas, its concentration in the atmosphere is relatively low compared to other greenhouse gases.
Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, is the most significant greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. It is produced through natural processes such as respiration and the decay of organic matter, as well as human activities like fossil fuel combustion and deforestation.
To determine the impact of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide on climate change, we can consider their abundance in the atmosphere and their respective global warming potentials (GWP) - a measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere compared to carbon dioxide.
First, let's look at their abundance. Currently, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is around 415 parts per million (ppm), while nitrous oxide is approximately 330 parts per billion (ppb). Carbon dioxide's concentration is about a thousand times higher than nitrous oxide.
Next, let's examine their global warming potentials. The GWP of a gas is measured over a specific time period and is commonly referenced to a 100-year timescale. The GWP of nitrous oxide is estimated to be around 300 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period.
Considering both their abundance and global warming potentials, we can conclude that carbon dioxide (option D) is the leading cause of Earth's changing climate compared to nitrous oxide (option B).
Therefore, the correct answer is D. carbon dioxide.
I think I'm leaning more towards B
