Andreas93 [3]3 years ago

They are made from the materials on the earths surface and in bodies of water from erosion and weathering. In the simplest way possible to explain, these materials get compacted into a rock by water, wind, ice, or glaciers. I used to think of it as the materials are "settling" in, because it sounds kinda like sediment.

In 1998, Canada's highest court declared that Quebec could not legally secede.

Explanation:

Canada is the second largest country in the world. In order for the vast territory to be easier for governing, Canada is divided into provinces and territories. Such provinces and territories in Canada are:

  • Quebec
  • Ontario
  • Alberta
  • Manitoba
  • British Columbia
  • Saskatchewan etc.

While most of the provinces and territories have nothing against being in the borders of Canada, there is one that opposes it, that being Quebec. Quebec is one of the provinces that contributes the most to the GDP of the country, is one of the most populous, and has an excellent location.

This province doesn't want to be in the borders of Canada though, but instead wants to be independent. The main reasons for that are that the majority of the people of Quebec have different ethnic and cultural background than the rest of the provinces and territories. While the people of Quebec already had several referendums about independence, with the majority of the population voting for it, the Canadian highest court declared any attempts for seceding of Quebec illegal in 1998.

11- Explain how carbon moves through the Earth system (including the geosphere) and how it may benefit (e.g., improve soils for
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The Carbon Cycle. The main benefits are Plant growth and enrichment of agricultural soils. The main Harms are air pollution

Explanation:

Carbon movement on Earth is best-explained trough the Carbon Cycle, in this cycle carbon is stored, moves or is exchanged between the biosphere, the Atmosphere, Oceans, and the Geosphere.

Atmosphere storages big quantities of carbon. this carbon then cycles to the Biosphere where it is used mainly by the plants on the photosynthesis and respiration processes.

Oceans also plays an important role in the cycle by photosynthesis of seagrass and algae, the air and the sea also exchanges carbon present in the surface ocean. But also large amounts of carbon are stored in the deep ocean (about 37,000 gigatons of carbon per year).

In the Geosphere the Carbon Cycle is slower because it involves processes like rain that forms carbonic acid when in contact with the rocks, this acid promotes chemical weathering on rocks releasing elements like calcium and magnesium that are carried over to the oceans, in the oceans, Calcium carbonate is formed trough the calcification of organisms that are layered throughout the years, this calcium carbonate is then cemented and turned to rock. Organic carbon is also present in the Geosphere as a result of dead plant matter.

This carbon stored in the lithosphere is released back to the atmosphere through volcanism, and the cycle repeats.

societies greatly benefit from carbon because of the plant respiration and growth process, also carbon is an element present on rich soils for agriculture.

The main harm to society is air pollution. Humans emissions have an important impact on carbon cycle by adding more C02 to the atmosphere in the form of Black carbon (produced by combustion process) and because of deforestation, the Carbon exchange with plants is reduced, increasing pollutants to the air.
