  4. Bellringer 9/13/11 • What is a carbon footprint? The amount of carbon you emit into the atmosphere.

  5. Bellringer A Day- 9/13/11 B Day – 9/14/11 • What percentage of the hydrosphere is available for us to drink? • What is a carbon footprint?

  6. Bellringer 1st: 9/14/11 • How can carbon get transferred from a land plant to the atmosphere? Respiration, decomposition and combustion

  7. Bellringer 1st: 9/15/11 • What human activity has added the most carbon to the atmosphere? Burning fossil fuels

  8. Bellringer A Day- 9/15/11 B Day – 9/16/11 • How does carbon get transferred from a land plant to the atmosphere? • What human activity has added the most carbon to the atmosphere?

  9. Bellringer 1st: 9/16/11 • If the amount of carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere, what happens to our temperature ? It increases – warms up

  10. Bellringer 1st: 9/19/11 • Why do we add nitrogen (fertilizer) to plants? There is not a lot of nitrogen in the soil. It is considered a limiting factor.

  11. Bellringer A Day- 9/19/11 B Day – 9/20/11 • If the amount of carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere, what happens to our temperature? • Why do we add nitrogen (fertilizer) to plants?
