<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct answer is </u><u>(C) a and b</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that tree roots hold the earth in place, so if the number of trees on earth continues to decrease significantly, erosion could occur without the tree roots to hold the earth in place. Similarly trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen into the atmosphere, so if the number of trees on earth continues to decrease significantly, less oxygen released into the atmosphere and more CO2 buildup.

<u>Answer</u>: c. a and b

Trees play vital roles in the production of oxygen as well as the fixation of carbon from CO_{2}. As trees use nitrogen, phosphorus and water as nutrients for growth, their diminishing numbers would change the balance between these three elements significantly.

Thus, during rains, the water level will rise much faster and higher in the absence of trees. These could possibly lead to increasing cases of devastating landslides.

Which of these statements best describes a similarity between photosynthesis and dissolving in the sea?
Mama L [17]

The correct answer is D. Both absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The process of photosynthesis is carried out using atmospheric carbon dioxide by green plants. Many gases including carbon dioxide are dissolved in seawater. Some of the carbon dioxide gas remains in dissolved state but most of the carbon dioxide is reacts with water to form carbonic acid. Dissolved gases in seawater make balance with atmosphere by mixing of the surface by wind and waves. Therefore, both photosynthesis and sea water take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
