More questions about Carbon Cycle

These visible examples show the question style. LearnClash turns the full topic into ranked duels and spaced repetition.

  1. 1 Easy

    What gas fizzes out when acid touches limestone?

    Answer: Carbon dioxide

    Why: Geologists drip dilute hydrochloric acid on rocks in the field; a fizz reveals carbonate minerals such as calcite.

  2. 2 Medium

    How does most of the fat you lose leave the body?

    Answer: Breathed out

    Why: The other 16% becomes water, which leaves in urine, faeces, sweat, breath and tears.

  3. 3 Hard

    When does Mauna Loa's CO₂ usually peak each year?

    Answer: May

    Why: It then sinks to its yearly low in September or October, after a summer of growth by northern plants.

  4. 4 Easy

    Where does most of the mass of burnt wood go?

    Answer: Into the air

    Why: Its carbon and hydrogen join oxygen from the air and escape as CO₂ and water vapour, leaving mostly minerals as ash.

  5. 5 Medium

    How many times more carbon than the air does the ocean hold?

    Answer: About 50 times

    Why: About 98% of that carbon is dissolved inorganic carbon, mostly bicarbonate, rather than carbon in sea life.

  6. 6 Hard

    Which shell mineral dissolves faster than calcite as seas acidify?

    Answer: Aragonite

    Why: Because sea butterflies build shells out of aragonite, their thin casings dissolve long before calcite-based shells do.
