IB ESS 2.3.16 (HL) Methane cycle
Practise interpreting methane as a short-lived but potent greenhouse gas and linking oxidation to carbon cycle flows.
How this is tested
- compare methane's atmospheric residence time with its greenhouse warming effect
- explain how oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide links methane to the carbon cycle
