the burning of fossil fuel and deforestation effect the envrionment because when we burn fossil fuel we pollute the air with smoke and toxins which are not healthy for the body to intake nor for plants decreasing their health. Deforestation will lead to losing oxygen we need to breath since trees and plants produce oxygen and take carbon dioxide which we give off and if we loose those trees we will not be able to breath

What human activity contributes to the greenhouse effect?

Deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).


Which greenhouse gas has increased as a direct result of burning fossil fuels and deforestation?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the greenhouse gas that has increased as a direct result of burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The burning of fossil fuels releases large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, while deforestation reduces the Earth's capacity to absorb CO2 through trees and vegetation.


What are three human activities that impact negatively on our forests?

Deforestation, mining, burning fossil fuels, burning waste


What will most likely increase the greenhouse effect?

Increased emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation.


What is the difference between the Greenhouse Effect and fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that can be burned to get energy. The Greenhouse Effect is, in part, the result of burning fossil fuels. In this example, fossil fuels would be a causative agent that creates an effect on the environment, specifically, the Earth's atmosphere.


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.


What are three causes and one effect?

Three causes of climate change are deforestation, burning fossil fuels, and industrial activities. One effect of climate change is rising sea levels leading to coastal flooding and erosion.


What does deforestation and the burning of fossil fuel contribute to?

Deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels contribute significantly to climate change by increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. This leads to global warming, resulting in extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems. Additionally, deforestation reduces biodiversity and alters habitats, while fossil fuel combustion pollutes the air, negatively impacting human health and the environment. Together, these activities exacerbate environmental degradation and threaten the sustainability of natural resources.


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.


Which processes transfer carbon into the atmosphere?

The burning of fossil fuels and deforestation are the main processes that transfer carbon into the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the air, while deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.


What are humans doing to add to the green house gas effect?
