Green plants use carbon dioxide to make their food and release oxygen. Humans or animals release carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide released by humans or animals seems to be equal to the amount used by the plants which make a perfect balance. However, the balance is upset by burning of fuels, such as coal and oil. They add billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. As a result, the increased volume of carbon dioxide is affecting the Earth's weather and climate.
(i) What disrupts the balance between carbon dioxide production and absorption in the atmosphere?
(ii) How does the increased volume of carbon dioxide In the atmosphere impact the Earth's weather and climate?
