Answer: B) global warming

Explanation:

The burning of the fossil fuels liberates carbon dioxide and other harmful gases into the atmosphere. These gases are capable of causing greenhouse effect. As, these gases are diatomic these are capable of absorbing the light energy from sun causing the global temperature warm. The heat liberated from the terrestrial land and some energy from sun are reflected back to the space so as to prevent the earth from accumulation of excess heat energy. These gases being trapping the sunlight energy nullify the heat reflection process. Hence, increasing the global heat causing global warming.

Describe all the ways that a single tree might be involved in the carbon cycle.
avanturin [10]
<span>A single tree absorbs tons of carbon dioxide in its 30-year life cycle and it releases a ton of oxygen. The free nitrogen from the atmosphere is captured by the nitrogen-fixing bacteria and it converts nitrogen into nitrates and nitrites which is then absorbed by the plants. Trees, like all organisms, grow by adding mass (biomass). Carbon is the central ingredient in making that new biomass. Tree biomass is comprised of all parts of the tree; leaves, stems, branches, roots, tree trunks. The biomass of the woody tissue in the tree pictured on the right is made mostly of cellulose, a carbon compound. In a process called carbon fixation, plants transform CO2, an inorganic carbon compound into organic carbon compounds.</span>
