Q5.10. The growth in the global Ecological Footprint since 1961 is largely a result of an increase in the global carbon footprint. As fossil fuel combustion has increased, what subsequent change has resulted in the rise of our global carbon footprint

Explanation:

Carbon as a substance has the ability to form more compounds than other elements. It is abundant in both living and non-living cells.

Carbon has greatly increased in the atmosphere due to the activity of men such as burning of fossil fuels, waste of some companies releasing carbon, felling of trees.

It leads to formation of chlorofloro carbon that causes green house gases that deplete our ozone layer and causes global warming. Ozone layer is a layer in the atmosphere that helps reduce the intensity of light by absorbing some radiation that comes directly from sunlight. Depletion of ozone layer has result due to abundance of green houses gases form from carbon.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
