Slash and burn is when forests and vegetation is cut down and burnt to provide clear land for crops. This doesn't cause, but contributes to global warming. Destroying and burning vegetation releases carbon into the atmosphere. Removed trees can no longer remove carbon dioxide from the air.
What else can I help you with?
Do immigrants cause global warming?
All humans are causing global warming if they drive cars and use electricity, because most of our cars burn fossil fuel, and most of our electricity is generated by burning fossil fuel. All this burning puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which is causing global warming.
Which factories lead to global warming?
Factories and power plants that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) to generate electricity emit carbon dioxide (CO2) which is causing global warming. Any other factories that use electricity or burn fossil fuel also contribute to the warming of the earth.
How can global warming cause wild fire?
Climate change is excpected to make some regions drier, leaving them more susceptible to fire. Higher temperatures on their own also allow fires to burn more efficiently, making them harder to put out.
Which is more dangerous hydrocarbons or hydrogen fuel?
Dangerous in what way? hydrogen just being burned does not contribute to global warming, but what about 'making' the hydrogen? Does that use other fuels that contribute to global warming? Hydrogen is more explosive if that is what you mean by dangerous. Hydrocarbons burn to form carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.
Does anybody think global warming is not affected by electricity?
Global Warming is most indeedly caused by electricity, when you think of where electricity originates then there is your answer. In order to power our homes, schools, and factories we need to burn the fossil fuels first to produce electricity. Basically you get electricity from burning fossil fuels such as coal.
Why is slash and burn called slash and burn?
when people cut down trees it is called slash and when they burn the leftover it is called burn when you combine slash and burn it is slash and burn.
What happens when you burn to many fossil fules?
(Such as coal) You release carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere, and that is claimed to cause global warming (greenhouse effect).
What organism on Earth contributes most to global warming?
The organism contributing most to global warming is, unfortunately, man. When we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity we are seriously adding to global warming.
How has global warming affected pandas?
Global warming it self as not as tress need CO2, but the fact that wood is need to burn is a large part of endangering pandas. (habitat distruction)
Do immigrants cause global warming?
All humans are causing global warming if they drive cars and use electricity, because most of our cars burn fossil fuel, and most of our electricity is generated by burning fossil fuel. All this burning puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which is causing global warming.
How long has global warming hit Earth?
We know now that global warming started in the Industrial Revolution, more than 200 years ago, when we discovered and started to burn fossil fuels, which released carbon dioxide (CO2). This is one of the greenhouse gases that are causing global warming.
Is slash and burn helpful or harmful?
Slash and burn does not sound helpful, it sounds harmful.
Why is global warming high?
Because we continue to burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Is biomass safe or deadly?
Safe enough. You have to burn it in a power plant, but it doesn't add to global warming.
When was Slash 'n' Burn created?
Slash 'n' Burn was created on 1992-03-16.
How is the atmosphere related to global warming?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere catch and hold the sun's heat. These gases are building up as we burn fossil fuels. The more gas there is the warmer it gets. This is causing global warming.
Are Slash-and-burn farming techniques Mayan?
yes the slash and burn is a Mayan technique the slashed everything and burn and then they started planting
