To the right are pictures before and after deforestation. Plants play an important role in the carbon oxygen cycle. Deforestation causes:
An increase in nonrenewable resources because with the trees gone, it’s easier to get to the oil underground.
B. A decrease in carbon dioxide because plants take in all the oxygen in the environment.
C. An increase in carbon dioxide because with the plants gone, they can’t absorb the carbon dioxide from the environment.
D. A decrease in wind energy because the trees produce the wind.

10. #9 Photosynthesizing plants affect the carbon cycle by…
Creating more carbon atoms
Reducing the amount of carbon in the soil
Absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere, lowering atmospheric levels of carbon
None of the above; plants to do not affect the carbon cycle

11. #10 Animals affect the carbon cycle by…
Creating more carbon atoms through cell division
Releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, increasing atmospheric levels of carbon
Consuming carbon, reducing the total amount of carbon that exists in the cycle
None of the above; animals do not affect the carbon cycle
