Biosphere
The products of Photosynthesis (with molecular formulae).
What are Oxygen (O2) and Glucose (C6H12O6)?
The process in which outcrops of carbon are destroyed.
What is erosion/weathering?
A carbon sink.
What is the name of a place where carbon is stored naturally?
The top 3 biggest carbon producing countries in the world (not in any particular order).
What is China, The United States and India
The organism responsible for nitrogen fixing.
What is bacteria?
The most plentiful rock that carbon is stored in.
What is limestone(calcium-carbonate)
The percentage of Earth’s CO2 in the hydrosphere
What is 1/3?
The period that kickstarted a huge increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide
What is the Industrial Revolution (1st industrial revolution is accepted as well)
The largest terrestrial carbon sinks.
What are forests?
The lithosphere is composed of these two main layers of the Earth, one solid and brittle, the other partially molten at greater depths.
What are the crust and the upper mantle?
The element produced from the reversible reaction between CO2 and water
What is carbonic acid (H2CO3)?
The percentage of the atmosphere that is carbon dioxide (% is between 0-5%, accepted values can be up to 0.1% away)
What is 0.04%, accepted answers can range from 0.01 to 0.14
The process that causes carbon to be spread throughout all organisms.
What is the food chain?
The scientific theory that causes the uplift of outcrops, burial, and the creation of mountains/ridges.
What is tectonic activity?
The molecular formula of the material used on the shell of crustaceans.
What is CaCO3?
The substances that carbon comes from in a volcanic eruption.
What is magma, water vapor, sulfur dixoide, hydrogen sulphide (name any 3)
The process in plants that allows them to absorb carbon letting it propagate through the environment.
What is photosynthesis?
The lithosphere plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle by storing carbon in these long-term reservoirs, formed from compacted organic matter and carbonate minerals.
What are fossil fuels and sedimentary rocks?
The reason increased carbon in the atmosphere negatively affects oceans.
What is an increase in the acidity of the ocean?
The tool used and name of the person who pioneered the first reproducibly accurate way to measure atmospheric CO2
What is Dave Keeling with flask sample measurements
