The cooling of air by emitting infrared energy to space is an example of adiabatically cooling.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

How have scientists used isotopic analysis to determine that the rise of atmospheric CO2 is mostly from the burning of fossil fuels?
 
  A) 14C concentrations are much higher in urban areas than in rural areas, indicating fossil fuels must have a higher 14C/12C ratio than carbon from other sources.
  B) Since 14C is an unstable isotope, scientists have dated the atmospheric carbon to the period since the Industrial Revolution.
  C) Both coal and oil contain a high proportion of 14C. By analyzing 14C/12C ratios, scientists have been able to determine the source based on this fact.
  D) The decrease in ratios of atmospheric 13C and 14C to 12C indicates that the source is fossil fuel carbon.
