GOLBAL WARMING ?
WHAT IS CARBON Did you know Carbon can be found in millions of different forms like coal, oil, diamonds, Co2 (Carbon Dioxide)? Also, did you know hummus is 70% carbon? This carbon gets locked up for millions of years. Earth is made up of 118 elements and carbon is one of them. What is Carbon Dioxide Carbon dioxide is a gas. It traps heat in the atmosphere and keeps our planet warm. Without (CO2) we will all freeze to death. WHAT IS CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide. (CO2) from the atmosphere and water (H20) from the ground. By, now you’ve probably heard of carbon dioxide it’s called a greenhouse gas. Because it traps heat in the atmosphere- a little like the way glass traps heat in greenhouse gas. WHAT IS a CARBON SINK Our planet is called Earth, but a lot of it is water - salt water. The oceans cover roughly 70 percent of the planet’s surface. Together, these oceans form a major carbon sink. They absorb the (CO2) Plankton photosynthesis.
