True or False Burning fossil fuels and forests releases various forms of nitrogen contributing to global warming and acid rain. True Fewer plants means less oxygen and more carbon dioxide. This enhances the balance of the natural oxygen cycle. True or False Fewer plants means less oxygen and more carbon dioxide. This disturbs the balance of the natural oxygen cycle. False Every time something burns (combustion), more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. True or False Every time something burns (combustion), more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. True Combustion of fossil fuels adds sulfur and nitrogen to the air. These mix with the water vapor in the atmosphere and make it more acidic. True or False Combustion of fossil fuels adds sulfur and nitrogen to the air. These mix with the water vapor in the atmosphere and make it more acidic. True It is unnecessary to use alternative forms of fuels like wind and solar forms. True or False It is necessary to use alternative forms of fuels like wind and solar forms. False
