The quiz is entirely self-contained in Canvas. When you submit your quiz, it will be shared with me. I just want to get a sense of your Earth science background, relevant to the lessons we'll cover in this course. You should get feedback right away, but don't worry if Canvas gives you a bad grade. Try to get it done by the due date listed on the first page of this lesson.

Even though Earth's natural carbon cycle moves a gigantic amount of carbon between the land, sea, and atmosphere naturally, the balance is pretty delicate and the amount humans have been adding to the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution lingers in the atmosphere for over 100 years.
