The rate of atmospheric CO2 has never been as low as today and the temperature / CO2 content relationship is still poorly understood Since the Earth existed, that is to say 4.567 billion years ago [1 ], if it is indeed a constant is that it never remained fixed as it was, and that it was constantly deeply modified in a rather random way. This concerns as much the internal processes (in particular the composition of the lithosphere and the variations of the mechanisms affecting the continental drift) as the external processes

Among the latter, the atmosphere has not ceased to vary completely, particularly with regard to its gaseous composition. All of these internal and external processes have continually 'telescoped' and have led to complex feedbacks at the root of the many climate changes observed in the geological record. To these parameters are also added those piloted at the extraterrestrial scale, among the most important are the activity of the Sun or the variations of the orbital parameters of our Planet (precession, obliquity, ecliptic). The result is an extremely complex combination of regular cumulative processes, irregular, linear or not, often chaotic, playing at all time scales and affecting at any time the climate that constitutes an answer. Physicists, chemists, biologists, geographers ... geologists try each one from his pre-square to unravel this skein particularly difficult to understand. The synergies between the disciplines are fortunately numerous and the climate system is gradually exposed through the geological time.

L'étude du climat actuel semble plus simple que celle des paléoclimats, il s'agit cependant également d'une situation complexe vu l'importance des paramètres mesurables et mesurés qui contribuent à établir la dynamique de notre atmosphère aujourd'hui. L'étude de l'atmosphère est donc bien un des points incontournables pour qui veut comprendre un système climatique, elle est en prise directe avec la partie interne de la Terre (exemple des volcans, de l'érosion continentale suite aux orogenèses ou formations des chaînes de montagnes…), avec la partie externe ou superficielle (exemple des océans, des forêts…) et la composante extraterrestre (exemple des flux des rayons galactiques cosmiques, des impacts de météorites …). Nombre de ces paramètres sont cernés de manière satisfaisante depuis que la Terre existe. Cette connaissance débute avec le modèle du ‘paradoxe du Soleil froid' ou hypothèse astronomique du Soleil pâle[2].

Les premières atmosphères, des réservoirs de gaz à effet de serre

Ce modèle d'évolution du Soleil prédit que sa luminosité était plus faible de 25 à 30% de l'Hadéen à l'Archéen, soit d'environ 4,6 à 4,0 Ga (Ga = milliards d'années). Si l'on considère que la Terre possédait durant cette période une atmosphère semblable à la nôtre il faudrait alors attendre 2 milliards d'années (donc jusqu'au début du Paléoprotérozoïque) pour que sa température de surface dépasse 0°C, la température initiale à 4,6 Ga étant comprise entre -43 et -23°C suivant le modèle du ‘paradoxe du Soleil froid'. La quasi-totalité des océans aurait dû être couverte de glace. Les géologues n'ont jamais relevé de trace de glaciation globale durant cette longue période excepté quelques glaciers locaux à 2,9 Ga (glaciation ‘pongolienne') et à 2,4 Ga (glaciation huronienne). Ils concluent bien au contraire à une période chaude comme en témoignent notamment la présence de cyanobactéries à 3,8 Ga[3] et d'un cycle érosif de l'eau déjà actif ayant mené à l'accumulation de petits cristaux de zircon il y a 4,4 Ga[4]. L'eau était donc déjà présente 160 Ma (= millions d'années) après la formation de la Terre et les températures océaniques déduites des isotopes de l'oxygène et du silicium mesurés sur des roches siliceuses variaient entre 30 à 50°C (Archéen et Paléoprotérozoïque) bien loin d'un climat qui aurait du être globalement très froid comme le laisserait supposer un ‘Soleil pâle' de faible luminosité.

What determines retention factor (Rf) ?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Rf valuues and reprroooducibility can be affected by a number of different factors such as layer thickness, moisture on the TLC plate, vessel saturation, temmperature depth of mobile phase, nature of the TLC plate sample size, and solvent parameters. These effects normally cause an increase in Rf values

When scientists discuss the Sixth Extinction, they are referring to which pattern in the rate of extinction?
Travka [436]

Explanation:

The Holocene extinction, otherwise referred to as the sixth mass extinction or Anthropocene extinction, is an ongoing extinction event of species during the present Holocene epoch (with the more recent time sometimes called Anthropocene) as a result of human activity.[3][4][5] The included extinctions span numerous families of plants[6] and animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and invertebrates. With widespread degradation of highly biodiverse habitats such as coral reefs and rainforests, as well as other areas, the vast majority of these extinctions are thought to be undocumented, as the species are undiscovered at the time of their extinction, or no one has yet discovered their extinction. The current rate of extinction of species is estimated at 100 to 1,000 times higher than natural background extinction rates.

katrin [286]

Answers

When doing medical research with human subjects, the following are unavoidable limitations;

It’s often impossible to repeat trials on the same subjects.

Subjects may report an inaccurate medical history.

It can be difficult to control all possible variables

There are ethical or privacy concerns to consider.

Explanation

When doing a medical research that involves human subjects it should be voluntary, informed and consent. The researchers should respect the persons treated as autonomous agents. The volunteers should be protected from physical, mental and emotional harm. The benefits should outweigh the costs.
