The factory can affect the carbon cycle by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. because carbon dioxide is a , it can trap the sun’s heat in the atmosphere. because the factory is made of concrete, it may deplete groundwater levels over time by not allowing water to .

Because carbon dioxide is a GREENHOUSE GAS, it can trap the sun's heat in the atmosphere. Because the factory is made of concrete, it may deplete groundwater levels over time by not allowing water to INFILTRATE. 

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are gaseous components that absorb the infrared radiation emitted by the earth's surface and contribute to the greenhouse effect. The increase in their concentration in the Earth's atmosphere is one of the factors causing global warming.

Concrete does not allow water from the ground surface to infiltrate to underground.
