Name two places where carbon is stored

Social Studies
1 answer:
kkurt [141]2 years ago

Carbon is also found in the atmosphere where it's a part of carbon dioxide gas emitted when fossil fuels are burned and when living organisms breathe. It's in organic matter in the soil, and it's in rocks. But far and away the most carbon on Earth is stored in a surprising place: the ocean.

So, where is all this carbon hiding out? Look in the mirror. Carbon is the building block for all life on Earth (which is why Captain Kirk and NASA are always looking for carbon-based life forms on other planets), and a good chunk of the total amount of it that the Earth has is in living and dead organic molecules. That means it's not only in you and your dog, but also in things like fossil fuels and road kill. Carbon is also found in the atmosphere where it's a part of carbon dioxide gas emitted when fossil fuels are burned and when living organisms breathe. It's in organic matter in the soil, and it's in rocks. But far and away the most carbon on Earth is stored in a surprising place: the ocean. There's estimated to be 38,000 to 40,000 billion metric tons of carbon in the ocean itself with a whopping 66 million to 100 million-billion metric tons of carbon in marine sediments and sedimentary rocks. Those sediments and rocks develop from the hard shells and body parts of marine organisms that have absorbed the carbon in the water. When they die, their bodies sink to the ocean floor, and the hard parts break down into sediment, which later are formed into sedimentary rocks.

Answer:

a.Supply and demand is a constantly changing system. The mentioned that Mexico supplies about 45% of the world's avocados, which is a huge number in global trade. When they had a harvest shortage, and since its such a popular food demand, Mexico can charge whatever they want to because its needed so bad. For example, I have 5 avocados that I normally would sell for $1 but 20 people want them. I can then charge them $6 (or whatever I want) because I know people will buy them and people want them. That's Mexico's avocado supply and demand

b. avocados are naturally healthy. Most of the healthy fat in avocado is oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. This heart-healthy fat helps lower cardiovascular inflammation. They also contain important vitamins like C,E, and K. They also can be used as a food substitute, instead of using butter some people I know use avocado. A combination of increased availability, strategic marketing, and social media has made the avocado more popular and more people will want it

The correct answer is Social Learning

Explanation:

Social learning is a term used to describe the way we model our behavior, beliefs, and actions based on others as we observe and then imitate their behavior. This is a learning theory that relies on social interactions and personal relationships with others as we learn from family, close friends, and classmates. The case presented is an example of Social learning because two close friends show the same behavior in terms of sociability and it is likely one of them has learned from the other by observing him and then imitating him.

4vir4ik [10]
Earth's earliest atmosphere lacks Oxygen, the gas necessary for life because it is a requirement for aerobic respiration.Oxygen does so many things for our body but It is the only respiration human body cells are capable of. Oxygen is needed for multiple reasons. It nourishes cells, allows the chemical transportation, helps toxins and waste material to break down and it supports and provides energy to our metabolism.
