Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Look at the maps. The top map shows carbon dioxide released by wildfires. The bottom map shows how the carbon dioxide would have been reduced by prescribed fires. In an essay that talks about ways to reduce carbon dioxide, these maps would most likely be used as evidence to support a claim that prescribed fires are beneficial. a rebuttal against a claim that prescribed fires are beneficial. evidence to support a counterclaim that prescribed fires are not a benefit. a rebuttal against a counterclaim that prescribed fires provide benefits
Answer:
In an essay that talks about ways to reduce carbon dioxide, these maps would most likely be used as evidence to support a claim that prescribed fires are beneficial.
Explanation:
As you may already know, carbon dioxide is a harmful element to our atmosphere when present in large quantities, and can cause extreme climatic changes that have very damaging effects on life on the planet. For this reason, it is common for people to look for and write about methods of decreasing the amount of this element in the atmosphere.
One of the maps presented in the question above shows how fires can cause the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, however a second map shows the capacity of the prescribed fires to decrease the release of this element. With that, we can conclude that in an essay that talks about ways to reduce carbon dioxide, these maps would probably be used as evidence to support a claim that prescribed fires are beneficial.
