How the carbon cycle might be affected if we increased the extraction rate of fossil fuels.

Biology
1 answer:
Arisa [49]3 years ago
8 0

Fossil fuels represent carbon storage areas. Carbon that is locked in these fossil fuels does not cycle through the Earth. When humans burn fossil fuels, the stored carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. The carbon is then free to cycle through the Earth and can upset the natural balance of the carbon available, changing the way that processes occur on Earth.

zubka84 [21]

Due to the fact that there is no diagram, I cannot be sure that this answer is correct or not. I believe that the answer is that due to the rising temperatures in the spring, the snow will melt and there will be excessive amounts of runoff.

Two different species are discovered in the rainforest and their DNA sequences
Vanyuwa [196]

The similarity of 94% in their DNA sequence suggest that they have originated from a common ancestor and are closely related species.

Explanation:

The difference in DNA sequences in different species is due to the accumulation of genetic variation in the course of natural selection and evolution. Less is the difference in DNA sequences of two organisms the more related they are.

Genes determine the characteristics in an organism, and they are DNA sequences determining the protein to be formed. The similarity in DNA sequence of two species establish the evolutionary relationship among them.

Due to the genetic variation in species, the natural selection of the species had caused the evolution of the species adapted well to the environment.

Hello!

<span>Plants are the key to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and plants need water to survive. Plants take up water from precipitation and ground water sources. They use this in the process of photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide and sunlight are used to make oxygen and sugar.
