Volcanic eruptions add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Which of the following also adds carbon dioxide directly to the atmosphere?Responsesforming fossil fuelsforming fossil fuelserosion of igneous rockserosion of igneous rocksevaporation of a puddleevaporation of a puddleburning a forest
Solution
Burning a forest also adds carbon dioxide directly to the atmosphere. This is because when trees and other organic matter are burned, the carbon stored within them is released into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
