Reservoirs
Storage areas where carbon is held
Carbon Reservoirs
Gases surrounding the earth
Atmosphere
How can climate change affect the growth or certain crops.
Climate change can increase temperatures, making it difficult to grow certain crops
The burning of this substance is known to increase carbon emissions
Fossil Fuels
Long time warming of the earth
Global Warming
What are the six carbon reservoirs?
Atmosphere, oceans, plants, soil, fossil fuels, animals
The parts of the land, sea, and atmosphere in which life exists
Biosphere
Soil Tillage causes
carbon to be released from the ground
When green house gases increase, the earth gets warmer through this process.
Green House Gas Effect
The movement of carbon from soil to bodies of water
Erosion
What are the two ways carbon moves between the atmosphere and biosphere?
Photosynthesis and Respiration
What are the four spheres carbon cycles through?
Lithosphere, Atmosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere
The action of removing trees
Deforestation
The largest contribute to carbon emissions
Burning of Fossil Fuels
An increase in temperature Trends
Climate Change
How does carbon move through the atmosphere and hydrosphere
Diffusion
What two spheres are involved in weathering?
Lithosphere and Hydrosphere
This action removes carbon from the soil and into the Air
Soil Tillage
What is the relationship between Carbon dioxide and global temperatures?
As Carbon dioxide increases, so does the global temperature
Actions taken to reduce climate change by reducing the flow of carbon
Mitigation
This activity moves carbon from the lithosphere to the atmosphere
Volcanic Activity
A volcanic eruption occurs between which two spheres?
Lithosphere and atmosphere
Using longer growing sessions in certain regions is an example of
Adaptation
A method to capture carbon in the Atmosphere
Carbon Sequestration
