How would animals be affected by a decrease in trees?

Animals require oxygen which trees create through photosynthesis so if there are less trees, there would be less animals able to survive.

Animals require carbon dioxide which trees create through photosynthesis so if there are less trees, there would be more animals able to survive.

What is evaporation ?

The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.

The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.

The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

What is precipitation ?

The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.

The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.

The average temperature of the surface of Earth has increased approximately 1°C in the past century. Which reason best explains this increase in temperature?

higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

lower levels of ozone in the atmosphere

lower levels of nitrogen in the atmosphere

higher levels of oxygen in the atmosphere

How does carbon in a grass plant get into a lion?

The lion eats an antelope that ate the grass

Carbon from grass doesn't end up in a lion.

The lion absorbs the carbon given off by transpiration

The lion breathes in carbon given out by the plant

What is happening at 1?

turning CO 2 from the atmosphere into organic molecules

A correct path that nitrogen could take would be

air -> bacteria -> plants -> animals

air -> animals -> plants -> bacteria

animals -> air -> bacteria -> plants

bacteria -> air -> plants -> animals
