Question

Which two pieces of evidence support the idea that deforestation contributes to climate change?
A.
the fact that trees store carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air and that they release carbon dioxide when they are cut down
B.
the fact that release of oxygen from trees helps to cut down global warming and that deforestation causes many plant species to become extinct
C.
the fact that forests are destroyed for housing and industrial purposes and that this results in changes in climate
D.
the fact that greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, and that trapped heat leads to a warmer climate

Answer 1

The two pieces of evidence that support the idea that deforestation contributes to climate change are:

A. the fact that trees store carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air and that they release carbon dioxide when they are cut down.

This explanation highlights the role of trees in carbon storage and the impact of their removal on carbon emissions.

C. the fact that forests are destroyed for housing and industrial purposes and that this results in changes in climate.

This statement connects deforestation with shifts in climate patterns due to land use changes.

Together, these options clearly illustrate the link between deforestation and climate change.
