What is likely to happen in the long term if the earth continues to absorb more energy than it emits?
a. the earth will discontinue recycling energy.
b. organisms will begin to compensate for the change by incorporating more energy.
c. the overall temperature of the earth will increase.
d. the nutrient cycles will happen more frequently

The answer is C. The overall temperature of the Earth will increase.

This phenomenon is also known as global warming. This is caused by the deterioration of the Earth's ozone layer, which is a protective barrier in the atmosphere that absorbs the sun's UV rays. With the depletion of this layer, more heat from the sun can enter the Earth's surface; thus, resulting to an increase in overall temperature.
