Answer:

Carbon is the chemical backbone of life on Earth. Carbon compounds regulate the Earth’s temperature, make up the food that sustains us, and provide energy that fuels our global economy.

The carbon cycle.

Most of Earth’s carbon is stored in rocks and sediments. The rest is located in the ocean, atmosphere, and in living organisms. These are the reservoirs through which carbon cycles.

From the Carbon cycle the answers to your questions are ;

1) The Total amount of carbon removed from the atmosphere each year  is

  • 65 GTC

2) The Total amount of carbon added from soil and burning of fossil fuels is

  • 69 GTC

3) The Change in atmospheric Carbon in a year = 4 GTC

The amount of Carbon present  in the atmosphere within a given period is determined by the amount of carbon added to the atmosphere and the amount of carbon that leaves the atmosphere within a given period.

1) Total amount of carbon removed from the atmosphere = amount of carbon removed by oceans + amount of carbon removed by plants

= 2 GTC + 63 GTC = 65 GTC

2) Total amount of carbon added to the atmosphere from soil and burning fossil fuels = 9 GTC + 60 GTC = 69 GTC

3) The change in atmospheric carbon in a year

= amount of carbon added - amount of carbon removed

= 69 GTC - 65 GTC = 4 GTC.

Hence we can conclude that the amount of carbon added = 69 GTC, amount of carbon removed = 65 GTC  and the change in atmospheric carbon is 4 GTC.
