Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1VSC
To determine
To determine: The time when there was maximum abundance of CO2 over past 800,000 year
- About 300,000 years ago
- About 125,000 years ago
- 1750
- Now
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1VSC
Solution: Option d
Explanation of Solution
Explanation: The ppm concentration during the given time period includes:
- About 300,000 years ago- 300 ppm
- About 125,000 years ago- 300 ppm
- 1750- 320 ppm
- 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.
