The table below shows carbon dioxide emissions and world population data for several years between 1800 and 2004.

Year World Population
(billions) Carbon Dioxide Emissions
(metric tons carbon per year)
1800 1 100
1850 1.3 175
1900 1.7 500
1950 2.5 1800
2004 6 8000

Based on the table above, how has population growth in the recent past most likely impacted the composition of the Earth's atmosphere?
A.
The Earth's atmosphere did not contain any carbon dioxide in 1800, but it was the most common atmospheric gas in 2004.
B.
The Earth's atmosphere contained a higher level of carbon dioxide in 2004 than it did in 1800.
C.
The composition of the Earth's atmosphere did not change between 1800 and 2004.
D.
The Earth's atmosphere contained a higher level of carbon dioxide in 1800 than it did in 2004.

Respuesta :

Answer:

its D

Explanation:

i just did it and i put the wrong answer but the correct answer is D

The atmosphere of the earth have high level of carbon dioxide in 2004 than that in the 1800. Option B is correct.

Carbon Emission:

It is the amount of Carbon dioxide released in the atmosphere by the population. The main source of carbon emission is burning of fossil fuel and factories.

After industrialization the use of products per individual has been increased for many folds. This increase the carbon emission per person. Increase in carbon emission can increase the temperature of the earth.

Here, in the given data carbon emission increasing with increase in the population over time.

Therefore, the amount of carbon dioxide will increase with increase in population.
