The Carbon Cycle
The carbon cycle helps us understand how carbon transfers between different reservoirs on Earth. Understanding this cycle enables us to examine its role in maintaining a stable climate and carbon balance on Earth. We need to understand that the carbon cycle plays a key role in regulating Earth's global temperature and climate by controlling the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
This A-Level Carbon Cycle module will enable students to:
- Discuss the processes involved in the carbon cycle;
- Discuss how carbon maintains the planet’s health;
- Examine how human activities threaten the carbon cycle through time;
- Discuss the connection between the carbon cycle and the global climate
- Analyse how the degradation of the carbon cycle affects human well-being; and
- Discuss how we can address warming risks
