Type of cycle of atoms between living and non-living things is known as a
biogeochemical cycle.
1. How many steps in the carbon cycle?

The 6 steps of the scientific method in order.
The century which marked the rise of climate change?
20th century.
All of the atoms that are building blocks of living things are a part of biogeochemical cycles. The most common of these are the _________
carbon and nitrogen cycles.
What is the exact definition of infrared radiation?
The region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum where wavelengths range from about 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm). Infrared waves are longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of radio waves
The percent of earths surface that is covered by water.
70%
The way scientists determine climate conditions from 100,000 years ago.
Ice cores.
What is the biggest reason for the rise in sea levels?
Climate Change
Carbon moves from plants to animals. Through ______, the carbon that is in plants moves to the animals that eat them. Animals that eat other animals get the carbon from their food too.
Food chains.
nitrogen, oxygen, and argon gases comprise more than exactly what % of all the gas molecules in the atmosphere?
99.5%
The democratic country that did not sign the Paris Climate Agreement.
The United States
The yearly date for the rise of global flood trends.
1950.
What is the carbon cycle?
The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth.
Carbon moves from the atmosphere to the oceans. The oceans, and other bodies of water _______________________________
absorb some carbon from the atmosphere. The carbon is dissolved into the water.
What exactly is the terrestrial biosphere?
The community of all organisms living on the land and, the land surface features on which they depend.
main cause for co2 emissions.
burning of fossil fuels.
The greatest environmental challenge of this generation.
climate change.
The majority of the Earth's atmosphere is composed of a mixture of only a few gases. How many are there and what are there names?
nitrogen, oxygen, and argon.
Carbon moves from plants and animals to ___ When plants and animals die, their bodies, wood and leaves decays bringing the carbon into the ground.
2. Some is buried and will become fossil fuels in ___________years.
2. in millions and millions of years
What exactly is the Enhanced Greenhouse Effect?
Explain it thoroughly.
The concentrations of GHGs increase within the atmosphere, more infrared radiation is absorbed and less escapes directly to space, resulting in amplified warming.
