Document Summary
Induce growth of plants and trees. y y a tree lives on average for 100 years. Continuous cycle. y matter circulated between pools and reservoirs which are like the same thing. y ocean has a large pool of carbon in it. y movement between ocean and atmosphere of carbon. How much moves per time from ocean to atmosphere or vice versa is a flux. Not necessarily stable, although some are. y when tr changes it can be bad for environment. y drinking water bottle over an hour. Tr of water in the bottle isn t an hour it is half an hour because the average amount of time the water molecule stays not whole time. y *what the biggest reservoir of carbon on earth is. Smallest flux. y everything in black is a reservoir number. y different pools: sedimentary rock pool, biggest pool on earth for carbon. Example of sr is limestone (made of calcium carbonate).
