A level Geography - The carbon cycle Types of Adaptation strategies, and their pros and cons? Water conservation and management, Resilient agricultural systems, Land-use planning, Solar radiation management What is the slow and fast carbon cycle? Slow: Geological carbon cycle - stored in rocks and sediment Fast: Biological carbon cycle - stored in vegetation, soils and atmosphere What is the Earths largest terrestrial carbon store? Soil - 80%, almost 3x more than the atmosphere What percent of carbon is stored as fossil fuels? 1% - Gas, Coal, Oil What are the fluxes of the biogeochemical carbon cycle? Photosynthesis, Respiration, Decomposition, Combustion What is a flux The movement or transfer of carbon between stores What are the 4 carbon stores? Atmosphere - C02 + Methane, Hydrosphere - Dissolved C02, Lithosphere - As carbonates in limestone + fossil fuels, Biosphere - In living and dead organisms What are the 4 types of carbon? Inorganic - In rocks like limestone, Organic - In plant or animal material e.g. calc carbon shells Gaseous - CO2 and CH4 Dissolved - In oceans What was the 2015 Paris Agreement? Where countries aimed to reduce emissions by at least 60% by 2050 Which continent produces 25
