(a)
Interpretation:
The processes that add carbon atoms (in the form of
Concept Introduction:
Carbon cycle: It is a biogeochemical cycle, which shows the exchange of carbon atoms with the atmosphere of the Earth through a series of processes that interconvert carbon containing compounds.
(b)
Interpretation:
The processes that remove carbon atoms from the atmosphere have to be found.
Concept Introduction:
Carbon cycle: It is a biogeochemical cycle, which shows the exchange of carbon atoms with the atmosphere of the Earth through a series of processes that interconvert carbon containing compounds.
(c)
Interpretation:
The two largest reservoirs of carbon atoms are to be found.
Concept Introduction:
Reservoirs: Generally this term refers to the receiving sources of anything that is concerned about. So, reservoirs of carbon atoms mean the receiving sources of carbon atoms such as the several places from which the carbon atoms can be found.
(d)
Interpretation:
The parts of the carbon cycle that are most influenced by the activities of humans have to be found.
Concept Introduction:
Carbon cycle: It is a biogeochemical cycle, which shows the exchange of carbon atoms with the atmosphere of the Earth through a series of processes that interconvert carbon containing compounds.
(e)
Interpretation:
The reason for why figure 4.2 is called the carbon cycle has to be explained.
