Today, the carbon cycle is changing. Humans are moving more carbon into the atmosphere from other parts of the Earth system. More carbon is moving to the atmosphere when fossil fuels, like coal and oil, are burned. More carbon is moving to the atmosphere as humans get rid of forests by burning the trees. Burning wood releases carbon into the atmosphere that had been stored in the tree.

Answer:

i.Use of fossil fuels

ii.use of limestones

Step-by-step explanation:

Burning of fossil fuel contribute in excessive transfer of carbon to the environment. it helps plants to grow but it makes the water acidic causing human health and aquatic life in danger. It is prevnting ozone from depleting near pole by blocking nitrogen oxide to break oxygen molecules.

mining of lime stone causes its particles mix in the environment which deplets the quality of water and diminish biodiversity of both land and water causing reduction of aquatic life and degredation of agricultural field

i think it may help!
