Question 2
How does the burning of fossil fuels contribute to the net increase in atmospheric carbon?

А
Photosynthesis is reduced by virtue of increased smoke and haze.
B
Carbon released by the burning is not in a form that can be readily absorbed by plants, leaving residual carbon in the atmosphere
С
Carbon that has been sequestered underground is added to the carbon cycling between the atmosphere and the bioschere
D
Carbon released by the burning is more easily absorbed in the atmosphere than that produced by natural means
E
Carbon released by the burning increases plant growth, producing more carbon for the atmosphere

Answer:

The answer to your question is C

Explanation:

When fossil fuels are burned they emit carbon dioxide which eventually makes its way to the atmosphere. The carbon dixoide itself had been trapped and heated underground for centuries

Burning fossil fuels contributes to the net increase in atmospheric carbon because С . Carbon that has been sequestered underground is added to the carbon cycling between the atmosphere and the biosphere.

Fossil fuels are made up of:

  • dead plant matter and,
  • dead animal matter

These contain a lot of carbon and when they were buried underground they took carbon away from the atmosphere.

In conclusion, by burning fossil fuels, carbon rejoins the atmosphere and increases atmospheric carbon.
