Extra Credit> Past Air Test Question: Scientists study atmospheric conditions recorded in ice core samples from Antarctica. Data from the ice core samples show changes in the atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO^2) and average global temperatures in degrees Celsius (C) over time, as shown in the graph below. Which conclusion is supported by the data shown in the graph?
Find Warren County and the Serpent Mound Impact Site areas on the map. The KEY on the map lists the geologic ages from youngest to oldest. Which of the following statements are correct? You may use your large geologic time scale for help.
The bulk of the coal driving the Industrial Revolution and contributing to global warming today was deposited during the Carboniferous period (359–299 million years ago). The swamps where the coal originally began resulted in a significant draw down (reduction) of atmospheric carbon dioxide at that time. A combination of climate model simulations and recent estimates for carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere was used to demonstrate that the cooling due to the diminished greenhouse effect brought our planet close to the limit of global glaciation ∼ 300 million years ago. These findings highlight the climatic importance of the fossil carbon stored in Earth’s coal deposits and thus have implications for climate policy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5664543/ The geologic map below shows the coal-bearing rocks of Ohio. These are the locations in Ohio where coal can be mined for heat, etc. Which of the following statements are correct? Select the 2 statements that apply.
The geologic map below shows the coal-bearing rocks of Ohio.
Why do we NOT see coal-bearing rocks in eastern Ohio?
Glaciers probably wiped out all the coal.
It was probably mined to use for heat.
Ohio was never in a warm, swampy area for it to form.
Scientists haven't dug deep enough to reach it yet.
