Three activities promote the release of carbon dioxide in the air.

  • Burning of fossil fuels such as petrol, and diesel uses for transportation and industrial purposes.
  • Burning of wood and charcoal for heating and cooking.
  • Deforestation.

(B) Photosynthesis is a process that uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

(C) Global warming is defined as a gradual increase in the earth’s temperature generally due to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants.

Three activities promote the release of carbon dioxide into the air.
