Which of the following is the best example of a way human lifestyles affect environmental systems? Burning fossil fuels increases the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Using radioactive materials causes ground pollution when chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) seep into the ground. Deforestation causes water pollution by decreasing water vapor in nearby lakes and rivers. Using aerosol sprays increases the amount of ozone (O3) in the atmosphere.

Burning fossil fuels increases the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
This activity, such as burning coal, oil, and natural gas, releases carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
The increased concentration of greenhouse gases contributes to the enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.
This has widespread and long-term impacts on environmental systems, including changes in weather patterns, sea level rise, and disruptions to ecosystems.
