1) What is a long-term carbon sink?
2)Explain how oceans act as the earth's main carbon sink.
3)If carbon sources produce more than carbon sinks can remove, what will happen to the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
4)How does the heating of the atmosphere affect the ability of oceans to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide?
5)What causes the southern oceans to be less efficient in absorbing huge amounts of CO2?
6)How does the understanding of the carbon cycle help atmospheric scientists understand & prepare for global climate change?
*thanks!*
