EAS 1600 Exam 3 Practice Questions Quizlet
1. What is the largest carbon reservoir: Limestone in sedimentary rocks
2. The inorganic carbon cycle operates on term timescales.: Long-term only
3. Organic carbons commonly have carbon-[1] bonds and inorganic carbons commonly have carbon-[2] bonds.:
hydrogen; oxygen
4. In the long-term inorganic carbon cycle, puts carbon dioxide into the sedimentary rocks and takes
them out.: Sedimentation and burial; Weathering; volcanism
5. In the short-term organic carbon cycle, puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, while takes carbon
dioxide out of the atmosphere.: - Respiration; photosynthesis
6. More hydrogen and calcium ions are produced in the ocean with increases in carbon dioxide concentrations:
False

10.What processes control the long-term organic carbon cycle: Weathering
Sedimentation and burial
11.True or False: The biological pump moves inorganic carbon from the atmosphere to the ocean surface,
eventually making its way to the deep ocean through decomposition of calcium carbonate creatures.: False
12.Match the Largest carbon reservoir based on size(complete later): 1: Lime- stone in Sedimentary Rocks
