The position of earth's continents has shifted dramatically over its history. imagine that all of earth's land mass was bunched together with approximately equal areas above and below the equator. assume that seasonal patterns of growth and respiration are otherwise similar, with the northern hemisphere's summer occurring june-august and the southern hemisphere's summer occurring december-february.

how will this new configuration affect seasonal swings in average global co2?

a. seasonal swings would be larger, but co2 would still peak in late april.
b. seasonal swings would be similar, but co2 would now peak in late august.
c. seasonal swings would be larger, but co2 would now peak in late august.
d. seasonal swings would be much smaller, perhaps even undetectable.

explanation:

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.

1. efficient use of space

2. elimination of groundwater contamination

3. energy generation

4. lower carbon footprint
