Question

the co₂ data from the mauna loa observatory show a pattern in which the global concentration of co₂ in earths atmosphere rises and falls at different times of the year, largely corresponding with the seasons. look again at the graph showing the amount of co₂ in the atmosphere between 2019 and 2022. seasonal changes in atmospheric co₂ concentration source data: noaa global monitoring laboratory, measured at the mauna loa observatory. complete the sentences. the graph shows that the global atmospheric co₂ concentration typically __ from october to may and from may to october. an annual decrease in atmospheric co₂ concentration typically corresponds with the summer season in the __ hemisphere. increases...decreases...southern decreases...increases...southern increases...decreases...northern decreases...increases...northern

Explanation:

The graph shows an upward - trend of CO₂ concentration from October to May and a downward - trend from May to October. In the Northern Hemisphere, summer is from June - August. During the Northern Hemisphere summer, plants photosynthesize more, absorbing more CO₂, leading to a decrease in atmospheric CO₂ concentration.

Answer:

increases...decreases...Northern
