Required

What are the negative consequences for species living in areas where deforestation is occurring? Tick 2 boxes *

2 points

Deforestation provides a new habitat for species

Deforestation destroys many species' habitats

Many species evolve, which provides competition for existing species

Habitat destruction causes many species to become extinct

Required

Why does deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Tick 2 boxes *

2 points

There are fewer trees to absorb the carbon dioxide in photosynthesis

During deforestation trees are planted, so more carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere

Option 5

When trees are cut down they are often burnt, which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

There are more trees to release carbon dioxide in photosynthesis

Why are increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere a problem? *

1 point

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes climate change

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes increased plant growth

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes global temperature to decrease

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere improves air quality

What is pollution? *

Why should biodiversity be maintained? Tick 3 boxes *

3 points
