The correct answer is: fossil fuels are burned > carbon dioxide levels rise > heat is trapped > global temperatures rise.
This is because the burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which trap heat and contribute to the warming of the Earth's surface. This process is known as the greenhouse effect and is the primary driver of global warming. As carbon dioxide levels continue to rise due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy, the Earth's climate is becoming increasingly disrupted leading to rising global temperatures.
Which of the following correctly sequences the events leading to global warming?
(1 point)
• population increases > people exhale carbon dioxide > plant life decreases > global temperatures rise
• ozone levels are depleted > increased radiation enters atmosphere > global temperatures rise
• fossil fuels are burned > carbon dioxide levels rise > heat is trapped > global temperatures rise
• biomass fuels are burned > increased acid precipitation > increased acid deposition > global temperatures rise
• fossil fuels are burned > carbon monoxide levels increase > particulates rise > global temperatures rise
