How deforestation and the burning of these trees from tropical rain forest contributes to the greenhouse effect?

They burn the trees and it makes smoke. The smoke can go into the appnesspere and cause green house stuff. Once trees die their CO2 is emited.

What human activity contributes to the greenhouse effect?
Deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
How have human activities changed the greenhouse gases?
Human activities like burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation have increasedlevels of greenhouse gases.
Burning tropical forests accounts for how much of the human-created greenhouse gas emissions?
20%
What increases the temperature around the planet?
The enhanced greenhouse effect,which is caused by extra amounts of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide,which is caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
which describes the burning of fossil fuels?
Burning fossil fuels contributes to climate change and are nonrenewable.
did the greenhouse effect increase?
Yes. When we started burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and cutting down the great forests of the worldd (deforestation), the normal greenhouse effect began to change into the accelerated, or enhanced greenhouse effect which we now have.
What are the two types of greenhouse?
The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation) leads to global warming and climate change.(There is also the very dangerous runaway greenhouse effect that happened on Venus.)
What are the effects of combustion and deforestation and how do they relate to the greenhouse effect?
Combustion (burning) of any material usually releases carbon dioxide, as carbon is such a major component of everything on earth. Deforestation (removal of trees) means that the trees are no longer able to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases retaining warmth from the sun. Any increase of greenhouse gases (as carbon dioxide is) leads to a warming in the atmosphere.

What is the relationship between deforestation of the rainforest the greenhouse effect and global warming?
Deforestation of the rainforests destroyed trees that used to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This allows CO2 levels to build up in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect, keeping the earth warm. Because of deforestation and man's burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, levels of CO2 in the air are rising, causing global warming.
What is the biggest thing that can affect the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is mostly caused by human activity such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
Do electronics cause global warming?
Any use of electronics uses electricity, most of which is presently generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). So this contributes to global warming, but does not cause it. Global warming is caused by deforestation, and by our burning of fossil fuels in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
