14 - 能量預算
2Causes
The text behind card n14 allows no ambiguity. Therefore the 2 cards have to be skipped together or not at all.
Heat is absorbed at the surface of the ocean. Thermohaline circulation helps mix watersurface and deep ocean which is essential to the absoption of energy by the ocean.
5Consequences
As mentionned on card 21, this is the temperature of the air, above ground, in average on the Earth.
1Other possible consequence
If we take the idea of energy conservation all the way, we can link the energy budget to the thawing of permafrost.
1Wrong cause
The idea here is not to say there is no link between these two cards, but to make sure they are not mixed up. The carbon sinks card tells us where the carbon goes. The energy budget card tells us where the excess energy goes. Both distribute something, but not the same thing. To make it even more confusing, the atmosphere and the ocean are present in both.
