During which moth does the minimum value for atmospheric CO2 concentrations occur for the years 1996
1.) During which moth does the minimum value for atmospheric CO2 concentrations occur for the years 1996-2000?
September
2.) During which moth does the minimum value for atmospheric CO2 concentrations occur for the years 1996-2000?
April 1999, and the rest are in May.
3.) Based on your knowledge of the relationship between photosynthesis and CO2 explain why CO2 concentrations throughout the year.
In the summer flowers remove CO2 while in the winter plants cannot remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
4.) Based on your knowledge of the relationship between the burning of fossil fuels and CO2 give another reason for the cyclic nature of CO2 concentrations throughout the year.
Most fossils are burnt during the winter. The CO2 concentrations are usually higher in the winter than in the summer.
5.) Look at the data table for atmospheric CO2 concentrations for the years 1959-1963. In parts per million, by how much did the annual average increase between 1959 and 1963? What was the largest increase between two years during the period from 1959-1963?
3.01ppm; 0.93ppm-1959-1960
6.) 6.76 ppm 2.87ppm-1997-1998
7.) How does the trend in CO2 concentrations changing over time?
It’s increasing.
8.) Name two ways that the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations could be slowed down.
Stop deforestation and plant more trees and plants. Decrease the amount of fossil fuels being burnt and start using more natural sources.
9.) Answ: No, and yes. Maybe because in 1996-2000 it’s about the same as at the CO2 concentrations.

    The conditions of CO2 and light that I would suggest a student to use would be blue light and having the CO2 levels at 7.5 along with the intensity of the light being at 7.5 also because this would allow the plant to intake good colours of the light spectrum and it would allow a good amount of intake of carbon dioxide and if the intensity of the light it strong than photosynthesis would move at a faster rate…

    Earth’s climate is changing. According to Climate Change Debate, “temperatures on earth have increased approximately 1.4°F since the early 20th century. Over this time period, atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) have notably increased.” Carbon dioxide is a gas that is formed in animal respiration and in the decay of animal and vegetable matter, it is also absorbed from the air by plants in photosynthesis. Although CO2 is often seen as something that is harmful, it is important for our habitat and the environment. CO2 is necessary because neither plants, animals, nor humans could survive, we must have plants for energy and food. Climate Change Debate says that, “the pro side argues rising levels of atmospheric…

    Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable gas that can be produced by cellular respiration and burning of fossil fuels. Many types of industries such as breweries, mining ore and the manufacturing of carbonated drinks, drugs, disinfectants, pottery, and baking powder; utilize the CO2 gas (Appendix C). Recently Scientist proposed a theory in which CO2 concentration levels above 450ppm will lead to dramatic and potentially catastrophic climate changes. Rising temperatures and damages to the Earth’s outer atmosphere can easily be avioded by keeping CO2 levels as low as possible.…

    (Pg. 15) The “Third Assessment Report” released by the IPCC in 2001 found that our planet has shown clear signs of warming over the past century. Since 1960 snow and ice cover has decreased by about ten percent, and mountain glaciers are in retreat everywhere except near the poles. Paralleling the changes in the climate is an unprecedented increase in the concentration of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. This increase is produced by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, the clearing of vegetation, and in the case of methane, cattle and rice production. Not for at least the last four-hundred and twenty years has there been so much carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. (Pg. 15-16) What will happen if we continue to emit increasing amounts of gasses into the atmosphere, and global warming continues to increase? According to the Third Assessment Report, between 1990 and 2100, average global temperatures will rise by at least 1.4°C, and by as much as 5.8°C. Although these average rises in temperature might seem small, even a 1°C rise in the average temperature would be greater than any change that has occurred in a single century in the past ten-thousand years. Moreover, some regional changes will be more…

    For as long as can be measured the earth’s climate and levels of carbon dioxide have constantly changed suggesting that the role of natural causes in creating a new geological period cannot be ignored. Sunspots are magnetic storms on the surface of the sun and an increase in the number of sunspots results in more radiation being emitted onto earth leading to short term climate change. Similarly the orbital variation of the earth over tens to hundreds of thousands of years can also lead to up to 10 degrees Celsius of climate change resulting in the transition from glacial to interglacial periods. Increased radiation during interglacial periods on earth can melt land ice and release carbon dioxide which further increases the earths temperature. However, whilst the role of natural causes has contributed to new geological periods in the past current carbon dioxide levels are reaching levels never seen before. Historically the transition from glacial to interglacial periods has seen the atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide vary from between 280-300 ppm and 180 ppm (Petit et al., 1999). Although in the past, greenhouse gases have undergone natural variations proven by the gas bubbles found within the layers of the Antarctic and Greenland ice cores, carbon dioxide levels have never been as high as at current, “reaching 379ppm in 2005” (Holden, 2012), and currently exceeding…
