The carbon cycle has components in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. Much of the Earths carbon
Question:
The carbon cycle has components in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. Much of the Earth’s carbon is fixed in the short-term, while a lesser amount is able to move more freely. You must decide if you want to focus generally on the basic carbon cycle or on a sub-component of the cycle. Looking into the anthropogenic sources of CO2 contributions to the carbon cycle, or specific sinks and natural sources on land, in water, or cycling through the atmosphere are all possibilities. What aspect of the carbon cycle is most important for the general public to better understand? Or do you think people don’t know what the general carbon cycle even is? The answer to these questions should direct your decision on area of focus.
Your carbon cycle infographic must have three main elements, just like the first infographic in Lab 3, which include the following:
- Title – indicate the focus and any other critical info. Be careful not to over complicate your title.
- Data – you can use numerical data on its own, in a chart, on a map, or in graphical format. Don’t forget axis titles, scale values and units on your data if you use a graph, these are worth marks. You can use excel to make a basic graph that you can copy and paste directly into your infographic. If you’re using data on a map or diagram, don’t forget your units. Think about what the most effective visual method is.
- Visual Elements – maps, colours, icons, characters, situations, landscapes, this is where you can get really creative to bring your infographic to life. Think about how to best visualize invisible CO2, carbonic acid, calcium carbonate or whatever form the carbon is taking in your infographic.
