Question

Carbon dioxide is constantly exchanged among the atmosphere, ocean, and land. Carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed by microorganisms, plants, and animal by natural processes which help maintain a natural balance. However, since the beginning of Industrial Revolution, human activities have contributed substantially to Carbon dioxide gases in the atmosphere. Which conclusion might be drawn between the relationship found in the graphs of Global Carbon Emissions and Global Temperatures over the past 150 years. A) decreased Carbon emission from human activities are directly correlated to decreased global temperatures B) increased Carbon emission from human activities are directly correlated to increased global temperatures C) increased Carbon emission from human activities are directly correlated to decreased global temperatures D) decreased Carbon emission from human activities are directly correlated to increased global temperatures

Answer 1

The answer is actually B

Answer 2

B) increased Carbon emission from human activities are directly correlated to increased global temperatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon emissions (caused by human activities) in the atmosphere are directly linked to the greenhouse effect that is directly related to the increase in global temperature.

Carbon emissions occur in virtually all human activities and sectors of the economy: in agriculture, by preparing land for planting and applying fertilizer; in livestock, through the treatment of animal waste and the enteric fermentation of cattle; in transportation, by the use of fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas; in the treatment of solid waste by the way waste is treated and disposed of; in forests by deforestation and forest degradation; and in industries, by production processes such as cement, aluminum, iron and steel, for example.

For this reason, we can state that the increase in carbon emissions from human activities is directly correlated with the increase in global temperature.
