In Unit 3 we learned about the carbon cycle and climate change. Carbon is everywhere on Earth and is constantly flowing between reservoirs. As we continue to increase our CO2 emissions through human activities, we are disrupting the carbon cycle creating more severe consequences.Using the data below that was obtained by a student in the 3.06 Carbon Cycle Changes lab portfolio, discuss why one carbon reservoir has changed from the pre-industrial era to today. What caused these changes? make them short
One carbon reservoir that has changed significantly from the pre-industrial era to today is the atmosphere. The increase in carbon dioxide emissions from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes has caused a significant rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. This excess carbon dioxide is leading to global warming and climate change, disrupting the natural balance of the carbon cycle.
