Some Scientists believe the missing carbon is going into the boreal forest. They are not sure because the boreal forest both absorbs and releases carbon dioxide. Scientists need more data, gathered from a large region over a period of time in order to come to any firm conclusions about the missing carbon.

Question: <em>Where do scientists believe the missing carbon is going? Why are they not sure? (Site 2)</em>

<em />

Answer:

Scientist estimate that 1-2 billion metric tons of carbon a year are missing from the global carbon budget. Scientist cannot account for the location of 15 to 30 percent of the carbon released into the atmosphere each year. Worldwide humans release an estimated amount of 7 billion tons of carbon. Of that 7 billion 3 billion tons is released into the atmosphere and 2 billion tons is absorbed into the ocean, that leaves you with 2 billion tons of carbon. Scientists assume land vegetation absorbs the rest, but they don’t know exactly where or how much. 

Scientists began to suspect that boreal forests were involved. These forests are located at high latitudes in the northern hemisphere between 43°N and 65°N. They cover between 16 and 20 million square kilometers of land. Scientist took measurements of the carbon dioxide levels at ground level and at the tops of the trees in the boreal forest. They found that while the trees where actively photosynthesizing, the trees took in massive amounts of carbon dioxide and when the photosynthesizing slowed there was a slow release of carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. They also found that large quantities of carbon dioxide are being stored in the soil beneath the trees. Due to this scientist can estimate that some of the carbon dioxide is being absorbed by the trees and soil in the boreal forest.

This is an example of kohlberg's individualism, instrumental purpose, and exchange stage of moral development.

These kids are in the <u>preconventional level</u>, where their sense of morality is externally controlled. They accept and believe the rules of authority figures, such as parents and teachers.  A child with pre-conventional morality has not yet adopted or internalized society’s conventions regarding what is right or wrong, but instead focuses largely on external consequences that certain actions may bring. In this particular example they are in the <u>Stage 2: Instrumental Orientation</u>. The reasoning shows a limited interest in the needs of others, only to the point where it might further the individual’s own interests. As a result, concern for others is not based on loyalty or intrinsic respect, but rather a “you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours” mentality.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The amount of time spent playing video games.

Explanation:

When doing research, we usually come across two different types of variables. One is the independent variable and the other one is the dependant variable.

  • The independent variable is the one that we, as researchers, can control and that has an effect on another variable.
  • The dependant variable is the variable that we can't control and that is affected by the independent variable.

Therefore, we can control the independent variable but not the dependant variable. And the effect we will be observing will take place in the dependent variable.

In this example, the hypothesis is that the greater amount of time teenagers spend playing video games, the higher their grades in math. We can see that the hypothesis states that <u>the math grades will be AFFECTED by the amount of hours teenagers spend playing video games</u>. In other words, <u>the amount of time spent playing will have an </u><u>effect</u><u> on the grades.</u> Therefore, the independent variable is The amount of time spent playing video games.
