How does volcanic activity affect global temperatures?

• It blocks sunlight and cools the Earth
• It increases temperatures immediately
• It has no effect on the climate
• It releases greenhouse gases that instantly trap more heat

How does deforestation impact the carbon cycle?

• It removes oxygen from the atmosphere
• It decreases carbon dioxide levels
• It increases carbon dioxide levels since fewer trees absorb CO₂
• It has no impact on the climate
