When organic carbon burial exceeds the rate at which weathering returns organic carbon to the atmosphere as CO2.  How does the size of the atmospheric reservoir of carbon change? Explain why.

Sea-level rise in Scandinavia and the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. during the Holocene resulted partly from isostatic rebound.

You move to Florida and are expecting a hurricane to occur at your home.  You are concerned about your windows breaking due to the pressure difference caused by the flowing air.  Will your house have higher or lower pressure compared to the air flow inside?  If your windows shatter will they shatter towards the inside or the outside of the house?

Use the following scenario to answer questions 1-5 A hospital is preparing a batch of radioactive isotopes to use in medical imaging. The isotope Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) is commonly used because it has a short half-life and gives off gamma radiation that can be detected by scanners without causing long-term harm. A chemistry student working in the lab needs to review atomic structure to make sure they understand how isotopes and atoms differ.
