Are Carbon monoxide concentrations in the atmosphere visible to the naked eyes?
No, carbon monoxide is colourless transparent gas.
Can the natural cycle of carbon dioxide emissions increase carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere?
No, the natural cycle of carbon dioxide (CO2) moves through the land, oceans and atmosphere, and has done for millions of years. It is able to remove all the natural carbon in the air (and part of the global warming carbon as well). It is the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity that releases carbon that has been hidden underground for millennia that is increasing the carbon concentrations in the atmosphere.
How does the process of photosynthesis affect carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere during a typical year?
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide as a raw material where carbon dioxide is fixed into organic molecules. This process lowers the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The seasonal fluctuation of carbon dioxide levels during a year may be caused by increased photosynthesis during spring and summer.
Carbon dioxide is visible or not?
Carbon dioxide in its Gaseous form is not visible.
How would an increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere change the greenhouse effect?
It would make the greenhouse effect stronger.
What planet has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Venus has the thickest carbon dioxide atmosphere.
Is carbon monoxide less harmfull then carbon dioxide?
No. Small concentrations of carbon monoxide are potentially lethal. Carbon monoxide requires higher concentrations.
Terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Mars is the terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere. Venus also has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, but it is very thick.
Where does co2 loading occur?
- carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere: - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by the biosphere - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by body of waters
How do biofuels lower carbon emissions?
The steady increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere come from our use of fossil fuels. If we were able to stop using fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would stop rising. Biofuels are a partial answer, because by using biofuels you are reducing our use of fossil fuels.
What has happened to the overall concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since 1958?
In 1958 concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere were 312 ppm (parts per million) or 0.0312%. They have now increased (2013) to over 400 ppm (parts per million) or 0.04%. This is what is causing global warming.
The process of decay releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
The process of decay releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
