Question:
One acre of trees annually absorbs CO$_2$ equal to that produced by driving 26000 miles. How many people’s oxygen needs for a year does this cover?
One acre of trees annually absorbs CO$_2$ equal to that produced by driving 26000 miles. How many people’s oxygen needs for a year does this cover?
Show Hint
One acre of trees = oxygen for 18 people per year + CO$_2$ absorption of 26000 miles driven.

- 2 people for one year
- 10 people for one year
- 18 people for one year
- One family for one year
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Scientific estimates show that one acre of mature trees can absorb CO$_2$ emissions from ~26000 miles of driving, and release enough oxygen for 18 people for one year. This is based on global oxygen yield per tree and human annual oxygen requirements.
