Which human activity would most likely decrease the amount of carbon in the atmosphere?

Question

clearing forests
heating coal
burning wood
planting trees

Answer 1

Planting trees is the human activity that would most likely decrease the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Trees absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, using it to grow and storing carbon in their biomass. In contrast, clearing forests, heating coal, and burning wood all release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and contribute to increased greenhouse gas levels.
