2. Scholarship Meeting Anyone interested in ESS scholarship Very brief
Friday (24/05) lunchtime
To arrange a suitable day/time for permanent meetings.
Attend on friday to have your say!!!!!!

3. Brainstorm in your groups
Everything you know about the carbon cycle.

4. Carbon Cycle C_____ is vital to all l_____ things
Carbon circulates around the planet in the ______ _____.
It is stored in different parts of the cycle for different amounts of time and there are many processes involved in circulating the carbon.

5. Carbon Cycle The _____ is the biggest carbon store in the cycle.
Carbon _____ in and out of the ocean every day but a lot of carbon is ______ there for thousands of years.
The ocean is called a carbon ____ as it takes in more carbon than it releases.

6. Pumps There are two major pumps that cycle carbon around the ocean.
The biological pump
The solubility pump (physical pump)

7. The Biological Pump
This is when living things move carbon from the atmosphere, into the ocean surface and then into the deep ocean and eventually into rocks.

8. Biological Pump

9. The Physical Pump
The physical pump is also referred to as the solubility pump.
Carbon dioxide is soluble in water.
CO2 is more soluble in colder water, therefore it dissolves in the polar regions, is circulated to warmer regions where the CO2 is released back into the atmosphere.
