Question

1. based on your knowledge of the carbon cycle and information in diagram 2, predict what will happen if humans continue to clear and burn vast areas of forest.

Explanation:

If humans continue to clear and burn vast areas of forest, more carbon - stored in trees and vegetation - will be released into the atmosphere as carbon - dioxide through burning. Also, with fewer trees, there will be less photosynthesis to absorb carbon - dioxide from the atmosphere. This will disrupt the carbon cycle and lead to an increase in atmospheric carbon - dioxide levels, contributing to climate change.

Answer:

There will be an increase in atmospheric carbon - dioxide levels, disrupting the carbon cycle and contributing to climate change.
