Question

Deforestation of tropical rainforests results in which of the following:

a) More CO2 in the atmosphere, if the wood is burned in "slash and burn agriculture"
b) Less trees pulling the CO2 out of the air and storing the CO2 in wood and soils
c) Less moisture in the air to condense and rain on the rainforests, due to reduced transpiration
d) A, B and C are all correct

Answer 1

Answer: d) is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

a) burning trees creates more carbon emissions

b) dead trees cannot turn co2 into oxygen and destroying them releases co2 in wood and soil

c) transpiration from plants creates 10% of the atmosphere's moisture, the rest being oceans, rivers and lakes
