Question

Excess deforestation can result in melting of polar ice caps

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Deforestation results in the reduced conversion of CO2 to oxygen.

As a result the atmospheric carbon dioxide level increases.

Carbondioxide being a greenhouse gas traps the heat from sun and induces global warming.

Global warming increases the temperature of Earth's atmosphere and results in the melting of polar ice caps
