Question

Carbon is getting stuck in reservoirs (atmosphere and ocean) which is leading to climate

change. Which of the following is not a reason for this issue?
O Decrease in plants means more carbon in the atmosphere
Increase in plants means more carbon in the atmosphere
O Less organisms in the oceans prolongs decomposition trapping carbon in the ocean
O Increased use of factories and burining of fossil fuels increases amount of carbon in the
atmosphere

Answer 1

Increase in plants means more carbon in the atmosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

The second option is not a reason for the issue. This is because plants remove carbon from the atmosphere for their life processes.

During the process of photosynthesis, green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight using water and carbon dioxide.

• Plants do not trap carbon.
• They ensure the movement of carbon in nature.
• Other choices shows how carbon get trapped in the atmosphere and ocean.
