Vocab Review #7 (Geological Carbon Cycle)

Asthenosphere is described as

• The hard outer layer of the hydrosphere where material is frozen in ice

• the soft flowing layer of the atmosphere under the mantle where conduction currents occur

• The soft, flowing layer of the mantle under the lithosphere where convection currents occur

• The hard outer layer of the geosphere where material is fossilized

The process by which loose sediments are glued together in one mass is _______

• extraction

• fossilization

• creation

• cementation

Climate change is described as a change in​ (a)   climate patterns due to the ​ (b)   levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels

• global or regional
• increased
• decreased
• seasonal
