1
Q
How does arable farming effect the carbon cycle
A
Soil carbon storage is reduced by ploughing
Harvesting crops takes away carbon
Soil erosion increased by harvesting
2
Q
What is carbon capture storage
A
The process of capturing carbon from the atmosphere and then storing it where it will not reach the atmosphere for some time (normally underground)
3
Q
What are the limitations of carbon capture storage
A
Involves big capital costs
Uses a large amount of energy
Require specific geological conditions for storage
A2 Geography Earths life support systems
