A
wildfires
volcanic activity
2
Q
how do wildfires change the carbon cycle over time ?
A
carbon from biomass to atmosphere in large quantities
loss of veg = decrease photosynthesis = less CO2 removed from atmosphere
3
Q
how does volcanic activity change the carbon cycle over time ?
A
CO2 stores in earth = released during volcanic eruption = enters atmosphere
volcanic activity releases less CO2 than human activity
