I have zero memory of George Rogers ever playing on Washington from 1984-87, probably because the first Panini NFL sticker book I had was from 1988.

Is the atmosphere part of the crust? Even with that, wouldn't CO2 mean a decent amount of carbon? Really shocked that's an incorrect answer.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 2:26 pm

You guys are so mean! I'm just surprised there is that much oxygen in the crust. Is it mostly from "oxide" minerals? I know there's a term for that, but I opted out of science from an early age. Ironically, science classes were my best grades in HS.

Post by **Shirley** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 4:11 pm

Yeah, that carbon answer really surprised me until I thought about how much of the crust is actually rock, not organic material.

That was fun, GPJ!
