Carbon sink - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

APES Unit 1 Test FRQ's, AP Environmental Science-Unit 1 QuizDescribe a biological process by which carbon is removed from the atmosphere and converted to organic molecules. - correct answer Photosynthesis- In Photosynthesis, plants take in CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it into glucose/complex carbohydrates. Describe a biological process by which carbon is converted from organic molecules to a gas and returned to the atmosphere. - correct answer A biological process in which carbon is c...

BBE 2201 Final Exam Study Guide 2023 with complete solution Slow Carbon Cycle Carbon moving through rocks, soil, the ocean, and the atmosphere over time Fast Carbon Cycle Carbon moving through life forms, i.e plants and animals True/False: Clearing forests to plant agricultural crops results in an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide True. There is a carbon equilibrium established with any land use. Where are the 9 gigatons of added carbon (by humans) in the fast carbon cycle going? ...

3 processes of ocean sequestration - 1. carbon sink through fertilization 2. inject CO2 into ocean to form hydrates 3. inject CO2 into bottom of ocean to form CO2 underwater lake. acid deposition - comes in all forms of precipitation including sulphate aerosols, a dry precipitation. includes rain snow hail fog ice and sulphate aerosols. precipitation is acidic thanks to SO2 and NOx in the atmosphere. utilities are the main emission culprit. acid mine drainage - mines are abandoned, pumps ar...

Determine density. Write the formula. What is the density of an object that has a mass 40.0g and a volume of 8.0mL? Show your work. Answer: D=m/v (mass/volume) 40/8= 5g/mL What is the density of water? Would the object in #1 float or sink in water? Explain. Answer: The density of water is 1g/mL the object in #1 would sink because an object with a density less than 1 g/cm3 will float What are two ways that mixtures are classified? Give an example of each. Answer: heterogeneous: Oil ...

What happens to the water level in the tub if I open the faucet further and water enters at a higher rate? - Answer Water level increases, but eventually reaches stability. Analyze the list to the right. Make a hypothesis as to which of these processes could be CO2 sources (faucets) into Earth's bathtub (atmosphere). Select all that apply. Anything that you think is not a source, leave blank. - Answer What happens to the water level if the faucet is on and I make the drain smalle...
