The chart at attached illustrates the seasonal fluctuation in Earth’s atmospheric CO2 in ppm. Measurements are from the Mauna Loa Observatory4 via the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. If the maximum observed in a year was 417 ppm and the minimum was 408 ppm then the seasonal variation over the period used (2019- 2020) is 9 ppm.

Question

35) The chart at attached illustrates the seasonal fluctuation in Earth’s atmospheric CO2 in ppm. Measurements are from the Mauna Loa Observatory4 via the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. If the maximum observed in a year was 417 ppm and the minimum was 408 ppm then the seasonal variation over the period used (2019- 2020) is 9 ppm. What is the 9 ppm variation expressed as a percentage of the base value (lowest value) measured of 408 ppm? (keep 2 decimal places in your answer)
