The amount of carbon on this Earth does not change. However, where the carbon is located does change. These locations are referred to as sources and sinks. Sources are areas that add carbon to the atmosphere and sinks are areas that remove carbon from the atmosphere. The sources and the sinks are important to the regulation of green house gasses. Carbon dioxide is one of several green house gasses that keep our planet warm. Too few greenhouse gases in the atmosphere would allow our planet to freeze, too many cause our planet to warm up too much. In the space below describe how humans are disrupting the natural cycle and contributing to the green house gasses in the atmosphere.

In this stylized representation of the human-intensified greenhouse effect, human activities, predominantly the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas), are increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases, increasing the natural greenhouse effect and thus Earth’s temperature.

Explanation:

One problem that was brought about by human action and is definitely affecting the hydrosphere globally is that of the greenhouse gases (so called because of their heat-trapping “greenhouse” properties) emitted to the atmosphere. Of the greenhouse gases released by anthropogenic activities, carbon dioxide has received much attention.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
