Invasive species depopulating Native species.
Answer:
The point that does NOT accurately indicate a carbon transfer in the carbon cycle is that burning of wood and debris pulls carbon from the atmosphere to use as energy.
Explanation:
The carbon cycle involves the journey that carbon makes between living organisms and their surrounding environment, i.e. the entire biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, and is therefore considered a biogeochemical cycle.
In living organisms, inorganic carbon is taken up by plants to make organic molecules, which will be used by animals - which release CO₂ into the atmosphere - or dead organic matter provides carbon to the soil.
The combustion of wood and debris involves the oxidation of a combustible material -which requires oxygen from atmosphere- to then release CO₂ as a product. So it is incorrect to say that burning of wood and debris pulls carbon from the atmosphere to use as energy.
Answer: Shale changes into Slate.
Explanation:
Shale is a sedimentary rock, formed by the deposition and compression of clay and silt.
Shale layers is buried deep into the earth through the process of deposition (i.e the laying down of rock forming material by natural entities like glaciers, wind, and water).
Temperatures and pressures rise greatly because the shale’s layers are buried. When the temperatures and pressures become higher. The shale is changed into a metamorphic rock (with dark brown streak), called Slate.
