Answer 1

Without human activity, the carbon on Earth would leak slowly into the atmosphere through volcanic activity over millions of years in the slow carbon cycle. By burning fossil fuels, we accelerate the process, releasing large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere every year. When we clear forests, we remove dense growths of plants that have stored carbon as biomass. As a result of deforestation, we eliminate plants that would otherwise take carbon out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Emissions of carbon dioxide by man from the burning of fossil fuels have been growing steadily since the Industrial Revolution. Human activity, therefore, is moving carbon from the slow cycle into the fast carbon cycle and as a result, altering the dynamics of Earth’s geochemical and biological balance.
