Two different scientists were studying the carbon levels of the air above a large city. They both found that the levels had incr

eased by an average of 8% in the past decade. Scientist 1 concluded that the increase was a result of the increasing population of the city. Scientist 2 concluded that the increase was a result of an active volcano several miles from the city. Which scientist's conclusion is valid?

Answer:

Scientist 1

Explanation:

<em>The conclusion of scientists 1 is valid.</em>

Human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, deforestation, etc. leads to the emission of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. <em>An increase in the population of a city will only lead to an increase in these activities and hence, an increase in the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere.</em>

Also, volcanic activities leads to the production of volcanic gases which is a mixture of carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, etc.

<u>However, an active volcano that is several miles away from the city might not be a major source of carbon in the air above a large city. The carbon dioxide produced from such volcanic activity thins out before reaching the city.</u>
