Is the amount of carbon entering the atmosphere every year decreasing or increasing?
Yes the amount of carbon is increasing .
Name the form of carbon in the atmosphere reservoir?
Do you mean just the form of carbon in the atmosphere, or every where? If you mean in the atmosphere it's Carbon Dioxide, but if you mean everywhere it's in limestone, trees, the ocean, and other places. Sorry if this doesn't help ya.
Which gas makes up 0.04 percent of the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide in 2014 made up 0.04% of the atmosphere. This figure is rising every year.
Does a rise in population mean carbon dioxide levels rise?
Yes, because every person has a carbon footprint, some larger than others. So, as populations increase, so do carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
Being that our atmosphere was made by volcanic eruptions why arn't there higher traces of atmospheric carbon dioxide?
"Carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere by a variety of natural sources, and over 95% of total CO2 emissions would occur even if humans were not present on Earth. For example, the natural decay of organic material in forests and grasslands, such as dead trees, results in the release of about 220 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide every year. This carbon dioxide alone is over 8 times the amount emitted by humans. These natural sources are balanced by natural sinks, which remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.The increase in carbon dioxide concentration arises because the increase from human activity is not balanced by a corresponding sink."

Yes the amount of carbon is increasing .
How does the amount of trees being cut down every year affect our carbon footprint?
Carbon footprint is usually used to refer to a single person (me), or a thing (this apple), or a family or household. It means the amount of carbon dioxide (or equivalent) released into the atmosphere by the activities, or existence of a peron, thing, or group.However, the amount of trees cut down every year affects the carbon footprint of the whole world. Trees (and all growing vegetation) remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The oxygen is released and the carbon is stored in the wood of the trees.So when we cut down a tree we increaseour carbon footprint.
How would the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere change if there were no plants or animals?
Plants and all kinds of vegetation, including grass, trees and rain forests absorb carbon dioxide and store it. About half the weight of a tree is carbon. Trees can store carbon for hundreds of years. Animals, including man, breathe out carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon is also released from soil, oceans and from rotting vegetation. This is all part of the natural carbon cycle.One animal, man, adds a lot of extra carbon dioxide every day by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).If there were no trees or plants to remove carbon dioxide, and no animals to breathe out CO2, and no man to burn fossil fuels, the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere would probably rise very slowly.
Does more heat mean more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The more carbon dioxide the hotter the planet gets. The hotter the planet gets the more wild fires happen. For every fire that occurs more carbon dioxide is released.
How do trees and plants cool the earth?
Sucks up the carbon doixide. Carbon dioxide is every animal's breath and heats up the atmosphere.

Which is the gas that is not in your atmosphere?
every gas that is not nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and neon
Which gas makes up 0.04 percent of the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide in 2014 made up 0.04% of the atmosphere. This figure is rising every year.
Does a rise in population mean carbon dioxide levels rise?
Yes, because every person has a carbon footprint, some larger than others. So, as populations increase, so do carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
Nowadays in the world you come face to face with global warming and a lot of Carbon dioxide gas is released how can you prevent it by easiest way?
Nowadays in the world there is a lot of Carbon dioxide gas and not every country can fix it how can we make easier way to reduce the carbon dioxide in atmosphere?

Why is it necessary for earth atmosphere to have carbon dioxide?
The earth's atmosphere contains a small amount of carbon dioxide because of the amount of plants and bacteria which photosynthesise. The atmosphere used to be mainly carbon dioxiide until bacteria first evolved. When the bacteria evolved it photosynthesised, producing oxygen and taking in carbon dioxide, make the composition of the atmosphere change. Furthermore, the carbon dioxide dissolves in oceans, is used to form sedimentary rocks and animals and shells are carbon based. Fossil fuels are also carbon based. All of this uses up the carbon dioxide, so there is only a small amount in the atmosphere.
