Assignment:

A budget for carbon for the pre-industrial holocene is illustrated above (adapted from the Jacob, Atmospheric Chemistry textbook). Units are gigatons of carbon (GtC) for reservoir sizes and GtCyr-1 for fluxes.

In order to help us imagine the huge amounts of CO2 that we are going to be working with in this question, let's use the mass of the entire atmosphere as one unit (you calculated this in Q2.1 = 5.2x10^18 kg). How many of Earth's atmospheres of CO2 are tied up in the sediments of Earth's crust.
