Carbon Cycle -Answer Largest Carbon Store = Lithosphere/ Sedimentary (100,000,000 PgC) Largest yearly flux = Photosynthesis (103 PgC from Atmosphere 560 to Biosphere 2,060) Smallest Carbon Store = Atmosphere/ Plants (both 560 PgC) Smallest yearly flux = Sedimentation/ fossilisation (0.2 PgC from Deep Oceans 38,000 to Fossil Fuels 4,000) Geological carbon formation -Answer 1. Coal = duration and heat intensity influences %C 2. Limestone = compaction/cementing of shells 3. Crude Oil =...

Why study global change? - Answer--allows us to understand why global temps fluctuate and what causes fluctuations (natural and anthropogenic) -how it affects populations over time -tackling climate change before it things get much worse Why does the Earth change - Answer-1-earth's internal heat makes the asthenosphere weak enough to flow 2-Sun radiation What happens as a result of a weak asthenosphere? - Answer--continental drift -volcanism: enough volcanic outgassing can cause clim...
