Biology

Answer:

1. primary cause of human-created carbon emissions = burning fossil fuels

2. destroys natural carbon sinks leading to more carbon dioxide in the air = deforestation

3. emits methane from decomposing matter = waste disposal in landfills

Explanation:

1. "Fossil fuels" are <em>nonrenewable resources</em> that are considered essential for the operation of many factories and industries. <em>Burning them accounts for most of the carbon emissions on Earth</em>, and this leads to<em> "global warming."</em>

2. "Forests" are considered "carbon sinks" because they have a role of <u><em>absorbing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere</em></u>. Cutting down the trees (deforestation) makes forests barren. It then leads to more carbon dioxide in the air.

3.<em> Waste disposals in landfills contribute to the amount of methane that is released into the atmosphere.</em> Methane is considered a <em><u>potent greenhouse gas</u></em> that affects people's health.

larisa86 [58]

Regrowth of grasses, ferns, wildflowers, and saplings after a forest fire is an example of secondary succession.

Secondary succession is one of the two main forms of ecological succession of plant life that is initiated by an occurrence such as harvesting, or forest fire, that has a negative impact or diminishes  an already established ecosystem such as a forest or a wheat field to a lower number of species. Several factors such as initial composition, trophic interaction, and competition-colonization trade-offs can influence secondary succession.

Which direction do a comet's dust and plasma tails point?
masya89 [10]
Dust and particulate trails point in the direction opposite of the star closest to it. The outgoing solar energy and radiation slowly shaves off matter of the object, and thus creates a tail behind the object. Simply put, the tail is on the dark side of the object.
