  • Human-induced emissions from fossil fuels contribute a relatively small amount of the increase in atmospheric CO2
  • Deforestation and forest degradation reduces the removal component of this cycle, further increasing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere naturally when organisms respire or decompose (decay), carbonate rocks are weathered, forest fires occur, and volcanoes erupt.

Carbon dioxide is also added to the atmosphere through human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and forests and the production of cement.
