Question
Chapter 46, Problem 2CBQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Atmospheric effect of high CO2 concentration in 2100.
Introduction:
The greenhouse effect warms the Earth. Moreover, the human activities are continuously increasing the levels of greenhouse effects. Due to this, the temperature of the Earth’s surface is increasing day by day. Right now, it is considered that burning of fossil fuel is the reason of increase in greenhouse effect.

Study the table and graphs below. Record what you observe in the table or graph in the “What I See” column and then write what It means in the “What It Means” column.
This graph shows the atmospheric CO2 levels measured at Mauna Loa observatory, Hawaii, from 2005 to 2022.
Propose a reason why the CO2 fluxes are greater for terrestrial biological activity than for marine biological activity.
