Answer to Question 1

Answer: The oceans. Excess atmospheric carbon dioxide readily dissolves in the ocean, where it undergoes various chemical reactions, most of which lead to the formation of carbonate precipitates such as limestone.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1) Sea level rise due to melting Arctic and Antarctic sea ice and the melting of glaciers and continental ice sheets. 2) Changes in precipitation patternswet areas will get wetter, dry areas will get drier. This not only impacts food production but many levels of society. 3) Extreme weather conditionssevere winter storms and severe drought.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
