Definition: The Pacific Ring of Fire is an arc around the Pacific Ocean where many volcanoes and earthquakes are formed.
Gas chromatography (GC) is a method of separating mixed compounds.
The separation will depend on each compound's retention time. Compounds with
higher molecular weights will elute out slower than those with lower molecular
weight. This is due to their difference in boiling points. The larger the
structure, the higher the boiling point.

Answer:
B) The biosphere will absorb carbon dioxide, and the temperature of the atmosphere may decrease or the warming of the atmosphere will slow.
Explanation:
The Climate is constantly influenced by changes caused by the increase in global temperature called Global Warming. Global warming is caused by the emission of green house gases which includes carbondioxide (CO2). Hence, one way to prevent the climate from further deterioration is to find a way of removing gases like CO2 from the atmosphere.
Plants like trees and phytoplanktons like algae are photosynthetic organisms. This means they have the ability to perform the process of photosynthesis, which is the usage of light energy from sun to synthesize food in form of organic molecules (glucose) from an inorganic source. The inorganic source is Carbondioxide (CO2). Plants take in CO2 via the stomata on their leaves. Carbondioxide is a vital raw material for photosynthesis, hence, the photosynthetic process helps remove Carbondioxide from the atmosphere.
If trees, other plants, and phytoplankton are added to the biosphere, they will perform photosynthesis and absorb a good amount of Carbondioxide (CO2), which contributes to global warming, from the atmosphere. Hence, the temperature or warming of the atmosphere caused by global warming will decrease.
