Question

Which of these actions has contributed to the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

A) Clearing forests
B) Excessive planting
C) Chopping wood
D) Watering crops​

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. This is converted into carbon and stored in the plant's branches, leaves, trunks, roots and in the soil. Cutting down of trees without allowing them to regrow, the carbon stored is released to the atmosphere in form of carbon dioxide which contributes to as much as 30 percent of global greenhouse-gas emissions.
