To determine

To determine:  The time when there was maximum abundance of CO2 over past 800,000 year

  1. About 300,000 years ago
  2. About 125,000 years ago
  3. 1750
  4. Now

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1VSC

Solution: Option d

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:  The ppm concentration during the given time period includes:

  1. About 300,000 years ago- 300 ppm
  2. About 125,000 years ago- 300 ppm
  3. 1750- 320 ppm
  4. Now- 400 ppm

Thus, the highest concentration is now with the mark of 400 ppm

Conclusion: The ppm concentration is the highest during the present time.
