Answer:
D. Clear-cutting would increase the amount of carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere
Explanation:
Plants including trees are organisms that help maintain the balance of carbon in the carbon cycle. They do this via the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS, which is the way they obtain their energy and carbon source. During photosynthesis, trees (plants) absorb carbon in form of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air through the STOMATA on their leaves.
CO2 is an input substance in order for photosynthesis to occur. In a case where all the trees (plants) of a forest has been clear cut or removed, there will be no organisms to directly absorb the carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere via respiration. Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere would increase.
Answer:
What goes up must come down
Explanation:
Whenever we jump up or throw a ball in the air, we(or the ball) always come back down to the Earth because of the Earth's gravity.
The correct answer is - 1,180 km.
North America and Europe move away from one another, though the two plates, the North American and Eurasian are merging together on the other side. Since the rate of moving away is 2 cm per year, and the current distance is 1,184 km between North America and Europe, the distance between them 200,000 years ago was 1,180 km.
To get to the result we only need to multiply the number of years with the annual movement
2 x 200,000 = 400,000
Than divide the result with 100,000, as that is how much cm are in one km
400,000 / 100,000 = 4
And we get 4 km, in this case 4 km less, thus the distance between the two, 200,000 years ago, was 1,180 km.
