2. a. The effect would probably include less plants being able to survive since so little sunlight is making it through to Earth. Then the greenhouse gas effect would happen where the smoke would hold in the heat, causing the whole planet to warm-up. Short-term it would only effect the maple tree and the teenager because the maple tree would not be getting enough light (or would have to compete with others more) and so would soon die. The teenager wouldn’t get any vitamin D or be able to tan, meaning they would get mad. The long term effect is that the earth worm would have tons of food as all the trees and shrubs start to die and decay, but eventually there would be none left meaning they would have soil with no decaying roots or leaves, so …show more content…

Also, when you are out of grain you still have a final stand of whatever eggs are left and eight chickens, so you could last for a substantial amount of time. The second idea, you would be fed well for a short time, but you would quickly run out of food and die. The third idea would give you a variety of both of the last two, you would still be fed fairly well, but you would also be able to survive for a long time. By eating one hen a week you would be able to still get eggs, but also be able to survive on chicken throughout the time
