Expert Solution
Step 1

Role of Carbon dioxide emissions in soil

  • Carbon dioxide is one of the important greenhouse gas. 
  • Amount of 60 percent of CO2 of the total greenhouse effect is emitted  from the atmosphere sinking the storage of soil and vegetation.
  • Due to the burning of fossil fuels, emissions from forest fires, deforestation, and emissions of automobiles release highest amount of COin soil.

Role of Carbon dioxide emissions in oceans:

  • Ocean Acidification is one of the major cause of decrease the pH level of the ocean which is caused by the highest amount of carbon dioxide in oceans.
  • Almost 40 percent of carbon dioxide is released due to the activities done the human that sinks the atmosphere and dissolve in oceans.
