Question

directions: select all the correct answers. which of the following human activities impact air quality? planting a tree flying a jet airplane clear cutting a forest driving a car

Explanation:

• Planting a tree: Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which improves air quality, so this activity impacts (positively) air quality.
• Flying a jet airplane: Jet airplanes burn fossil fuels, releasing pollutants like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which degrade air quality.
• Clear cutting a forest: Removing forests reduces the number of trees available to absorb pollutants and produce oxygen, and the process of cutting and decomposing trees can release carbon, negatively impacting air quality.
• Driving a car: Cars that burn gasoline or diesel release pollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides, which harm air quality.

Answer:

B. flying a jet airplane, C. clear cutting a forest, D. driving a car, A. planting a tree (note: planting a tree has a positive impact, while the others have negative impacts, but all impact air quality)
