Do Earth's oceans gain or lose water considering evaporation and precipitation together and how much is the difference?
On average, if the climate remains stable the two processes balance out. During periods of cold, water gets locked up in the ice caps and the level of the ocean drops.
How is the orientation of Earth's magnetism recorded in rocks on the ocean floor?
Earths magnetic orientation is locked into the rock when the rock cools
What ways can carbon leave the atmosphere?
When trees and other plants use photosynthesis to make carbohydrates. The other major way is the formation of carbonates, through organic or inorganic processes.
Why do CO2 levels increase over time?
The Carbon/CO2 on earth is part of a natural cycle which balances the CO2 in the atmosphere with the carbon locked in the rocks as limestones, and hydrocarbons. In general over the totality of geologic time the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has fallen as a result of biological processes. In recent times human activity has been responsible for releasing a large quantity of fossil Carbon (oil, gas and coal) as CO2 into the atmosphere. While much of this has been buffered by the CO2 dissolving in the oceans, there has also been a marked increase in CO2 % in the atmosphere since the industrial revolution.
What did pancho v of salty water records do to get locked up?
Conspiracy.
Where is the most CO2 that has outgassed from Earth's volcanoes in the atmosphere escaped to space locked up in rocks?
Yes, volcanoes will emit about 0.15 - 0.25 gigatons of carbon annually in the present day.
How did carbon get locked up in sedimentary rocks?
by growing and they cool both down
In Pokemon HeartGold how do you get in the under ground path that is locked on route 8?
You cannot access that path. It is locked due to violence. It will never be reopened.
Does pepper taste fresher from an electric pepper grinder?
Yes, freshly ground pepper does taste fresher. This is because the flavor of the pepper seeds remains locked until the very moment when they are ground up by the electric pepper grinder. If the pepper was not freshly ground and had been previously ground and stored, then it has already lost much of its scent, its aroma, which gives the ground pepper its freshness. Pre ground pepper will still taste hot, but it will most probably not have the flavor or scent of freshly ground pepper from an electric pepper grinder and thus won't appear as fresh.

When carbon is released into the atmosphere what compound is it locked in?
Most commonly as Carbon dioxide, but it is also released as elemental carbon, usually as a fine powder, which is often carried many miles by our atmosphere, before being deposited all over the earth.
