The answer is rainforests. The destruction of rainforests can lead to global warming due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. This is because rainforests are major carbon sinks because they sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One of the major rainforests that are facing the threat of human activities is the Amazon and Congo forests.
The answer is south america’s location atop the Nazca and South American plates of the circum-pacific belt. The circum-pacific belt is also known as the ‘ring of fire’ because there is a subduction zone in the region. The Cocos plate is subducting under the Caribbean Plate. This creates friction between the two plates with occasional release of high amounts of energies when a stuck region gets unstuck abruptly. This region accounts for approximately 90% of the world’s earthquakes.

The Philippine plate moves toward the Eurasian plate.
Explanation:
A is not correct because the Australian plate is located south of the Philippine plate, and with its movment being in a north-western manner it is nowhere near in a direction toward this plate.
B is not correct because the Arabian plate is located west of the Philippine plate which is not its direction of movement, and on top of it, they do not share a boundary.
C is not correct because the Antarctic plate is a plate located very far away from the Philippine plate, and the direction of movement is not toward one another.
D is correct because, with its north-western movement, the Philippine plate is moving toward the Eurasian plate, forming a subduction zone, where it gradually subducts below the much larger plate it moves towards.
