What else can I help you with?
Which gas in air would rocks react with?
Rocks typically react with carbon dioxide in the air to form carbonic acid, which contributes to weathering and erosion processes.
Where is most of earths carbon located and in what form?
A majority of the earths carbon is located in the ocean.
Where is carbon stored for long period of time?
Carbon is stored for long periods of time in three main reservoirs: the ocean, soil, and rocks. These reservoirs hold large amounts of carbon through processes like carbon sequestration in ocean sediments, organic matter decomposition in soil, and mineralization of carbon in rocks. This helps regulate the carbon cycle and maintain a balance in the Earth's atmosphere.
What is the difference between fast and slow parts in the carbon cycle?
The fast carbon cycle involves processes that occur relatively quickly, such as photosynthesis, respiration, and the exchange of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and oceans. In contrast, the slow carbon cycle involves processes that take longer, like the weathering of rocks and the formation of sedimentary rocks, which sequester carbon over millions of years.
WHAT following rocks IS reacts with an acid?
Without the list of rocks we cannot respond to this question.
Why is the isotope carbon-14 so helpful in dating rocks?
It is not useful in dating rocks. Only organic substances in terrestrial conditions. No carbon in rocks.
Why can't geologist use the carbon-14 method to date igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks do not contain much carbon.
Why do rocks age?
i think rocks age becauce of the carbon inside of them.
Do rocks release carbon?
Yes
Which item is a carbon sink and not part of the carbon cycle?
Carbon found within limestone rocks.
Where is the largest amount of inorganic carbon found?
The largest amount of inorganic carbon is found in the Earth's lithosphere, primarily in carbonate rocks such as limestone and dolomite. These rocks contain carbon in the form of carbonates, which are compounds made up of carbon, oxygen, and other elements.
How does erosion effect carbon dioxide?
Erosion can indirectly affect carbon dioxide levels by releasing stored carbon from rocks and soil into the atmosphere. When rocks containing carbon compounds are weathered and eroded, carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct. This process can contribute to the carbon cycle and impact the global carbon budget.
How is carbon dioxide released into the air by carbonate rocks?
Carbonate rocks, like limestone, can release carbon dioxide when they break down or weather. This process, known as chemical weathering, occurs when carbonic acid in water reacts with the minerals in the rocks, leading to the release of carbon dioxide into the air.
Does the increase of carbon dioxide accelerate or slow down the rate of chemical weathering of the earths surface rocks?
The increase of carbon dioxide accelerates the rate of chemical weathering of the Earth's surface rocks. This is because carbon dioxide dissolved in rainwater forms carbonic acid, which enhances the breakdown of minerals in rocks and speeds up chemical weathering processes.
What is the carbon-14 method?
something to do with science and rocks
Are diamonds made from rocks?
Diamonds are formed from carbon.
When Pop Rocks 'pop' what comes out?
carbon dioxide
