Organic carbon in the form of coal deposits and also as forming from the small marine organisms hard shell calcium carbonate has helped to remove carbon from the atmosphere. The calcium carbonate formation or many limestones formed especially commonly in the Palaeozoic era in warm shallow seas and sea margins. The carboniferous period between the Devonian and Permian periods was a period when much of the world''s coal was formed. The removal of carbon and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, would most likely result in a cooling trend and that may explain why the Permian had significant glaciations such as occurred on Gondwana before it broke up (there is evidence of this glaciation in South Africa)..

The average summer temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere are cooler than the average summer temperatures in the Northern Hemis
Olegator [25]

The reason why the average summer temperature in the Southern chemosphere is cooler than the average summer in the Northern hemisphere is that over 80% of the Southern Hemisphere is covered with water.

<h3>Why are summers in the Southern hemisphere cooler?</h3><h3 />

Over 80% of the Southern Hemisphere is made up of water in the form of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. This leads to the southern hemisphere having lower temperatures in the summer which makes them cooler.

The reason this happens is that water absorbs temperatures and makes the surrounding areas cooler. This is why places closer to the coast are cooler than areas further inland.

The Northern hemisphere is not as covered by oceans as the southern hemisphere thanks to larger expanse of land occupied by the Asian continent and further by Europe and North America.

As a result, summers are warmer on average there than in the Southern hemisphere.
