|
The carbon dioxide was dissolved in the oceans. The dissolved CO2 went through a series of reactions to form carbonate precipitates that formed sediments on the seabed |
|
How did green plants and algae evolve?

|
They absorbed some of the carbon dioxide so that they could carry out photosynthesis |
|

|
Deforestation, fewer trees means less CO2 is removed via photosynthesis Burning fossil fuels, releases the CO2 that was trapped inside them Agriculture, more farm animals produce more methane through digestion Creating waste, more landfill sites means more CO2 and methane by decomposition |
| What are carbon footprints? | Carbon footprints are a measure of the a,punt of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses released over the full life cycle of something |
