How does deforestation lead to climate change?

Question

A Cutting trees releases stored oxygen, and there will be less trees to remove oxygen from the atmosphere
B Cutting trees releases, stored methane, and there will be less trees to remove methane from the atmosphere.
C cutting trees releases, stored nitrogen, and there will be less trees to remove nitrous oxide from the atmosphere
D Cutting trees releases stored carbon trees to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

Answer 1

D Cutting trees releases stored carbon trees to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

Deforestation leads to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere because trees store carbon in their biomass and when they are cut down, this carbon is released back into the atmosphere. This increase in carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, contributes to the warming of the planet and leads to climate change. Additionally, trees play a crucial role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis, so cutting them down reduces the planet's ability to offset the carbon emissions from human activities.
