Question

fossil fuels form 81% of the energy used in the united states. how does the amount of carbon in other earth systems change because of burning fossil fuels? move one label next to each earth system to describe the change. earth system change in carbon levels atmosphere biosphere geosphere hydrosphere

Explanation:

When fossil fuels are burned, carbon - containing compounds are released. In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is added, increasing carbon levels. In the biosphere, increased carbon dioxide can affect plant growth and the overall ecosystem, often leading to changes in species distribution and abundance. In the geosphere, long - term changes can occur in soil carbon content and weathering rates. In the hydrosphere, carbon dioxide can dissolve in water, increasing its acidity and changing the carbon chemistry in aquatic systems.

Answer:

Atmosphere: Increases
Biosphere: Changes (can be increase or complex changes in distribution/abundance)
Geosphere: Changes
Hydrosphere: Changes (increase in acidity and carbon chemistry changes)
