What is the general correlation between the concentration of CO2 and temperature in the Antarctic over the last 800,000 years, as shown in Figure 24-5?
The question is based on Figure 24-5, showing variations in CO2 and temperature anomalies in Antarctica going back 800,000 years. This temperature record shows the major glacial (cold) and interglacial (warm) periods of the later Pleistocene Epoch (2.58 million to 11,700 years ago).
What will be an ideal response?
Generally the highest temperatures are associated with the highest concentration
of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
