What has geology got to do with climate change? In this video we look at how geological processes including volcanoes, rock weathering and tectonic plate movements have dictated the climate of the earth over hundreds of millions of years. We look at how these processes govern the geological carbon cycle and regulate atmospheric CO2. Watch on to find out more…
