- How is the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere measured at present?arrow_forwardThe current concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is about 415 ppmv. It has been estimated that annual anthropogenic additions to the atmosphere are about 30 gigatonnes (Gt), of which about 15 Gt are removed into oceans and the terrestrial environment. a) Use these values to estimate the yearly net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide mixing ratio, in ppmv.

- How does the concept of partial pressure explain the diffusion of oxygen into our blood stream? Why does this become more difficult at high altitudes?arrow_forwardPressure decreases more rapidly with height near the surface than at higher altitudes. Why is this?arrow_forwardThe human lungs can function satisfactorily up to a limit where the pressure difference between the outside and inside of the lungs is 1/19 of an atmosphere. If a diver uses a snorkel for breathing, how far below the water can she swim? Assume the diver is in saltwater its density is 1047 kg/m. Atmospheric pressure is Pata-1.01x10 Pa and g=9.8 m/s?.arrow_forward
