Use of fossil fuels has increased the total amount of carbon in the carbon cycle.
nika2105 [10]

The correct answer is option a. true.

The fossil fuels, including coal and oil are present very deep inside the earth. In the carbon cycle, only fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the organic material takes place. This cycle does not involve the recycling of the fossil fuels.

The burning of the fossil fuels directly release carbon dioxide and other carbon compound in the atmosphere, which was not involved in the cycle when it was present deep beneath the earth and ocean. Hence, the burning of fossil fuels increases the amount of carbon in the carbon cycle.

Which form of succession replaces<br> an<br> existing system after a calamity?
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Secondary succession

Explanation:

Ecological succession is the term used to describe any series of change in the composition of an ecosystem over a particular period of time. Ecological succession is made up of two types viz: primary succession and secondary succession.

Primary succession involves the formation of a brand new ecosystem by the colonization of a barren area of land e.g bare rock, where no life existed. Secondary succession, on the other hand, is the recolonization of an area by a new set of organisms because the previously existing organisms have been wiped out by certain disasters e.g fire outbreak, hurricanes etc. In secondary succession, there is soil, which makes it possible for new organisms to sprout quickly after the calamity.

Example of secondary succession is when a fire outbreak burns the organisms in a community, allowing the root of grasses to sprout after.
