Which action would most likely increase the amount of carbon in the environment?

Cutting down of most of the trees in the forest to make furniture.

Deforestation is the phenomena of clearance, clearing or removal of forests to make the land available for human use like agriculture, industrialization and urban development. Carbon from air is taken up by trees in order to prepare their food by the process of photosynthesis and releases oxygen. Cutting down of trees will increase the level of carbon dioxide in the environment.

answer: accepted answer: aquatic animals use the oxygen dissolved in water to carry out respiration. since the amount of dissolved oxygen in water is low as compared to the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore the rate of breathing in aquatic animals is much faster than it is in terrestrial animals.
