What planet has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Venus has the thickest carbon dioxide atmosphere.
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.
Carbon in the atmosphere is most often found as which of the following compounds?
List the compounds so I can answer your question. I would imagine Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide would be the first 2.
How would a planet have an all carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Such an atmosphere on a planet would be the result of carbon dioxide emitted from volcanoes.
Where is carbon in the atmosphere mostly found?
Carbon Dioxide at .033% The only other two sources in the atmosphere are methane and carbon dioxide both of which are much less abundant.
What cycles are affected by global warming?
The carbon cycle is severely affected. Extra carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels is overloading the cycle.The water cycle is affected by the extra heat in the atmosphere.
How are fossil fuels responsible for global warming?
The burning of fossil fuels releases age-old carbon which has been buried underground for millions of years. So this carbon is not part of the carbon cycle where carbon is constantly moving in and out of the atmosphere. This is extra carbon that is overloading the carbon cycle and so is building up in the atmosphere. A build up of greenhouse gases causes increased warming and this is causing global warming.
What human activities affect the carbon cycle positively and negatively?
The carbon cycle is the natural movement of carbon throughout the biosphere. There is no positive way that human activity affects it.Negative effects of human activity on the carbon cycle:Deforestation and combustion of fossil fuels are overloading the carbon cycle. By cutting down the forests we no longer have trees to remove the carbon from the atmosphere. By burning coal, oil and natural gas we are releasing age-old carbon from millions of years ago into the atmosphere.
How is carbon extracted from atmosphere?
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere in some ways. For example, plants and trees eliminate carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon will be released into the atmosphere when an organism dies.
What the from of carbon in the atmosphere?
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.
Why carbon can not enter the atmosphere?
Carbon can enter the atmosphere. It moves in and out of the atmosphere through the earth's regular carbon cycle.What it can not do is enter as pure carbon. Carbon is a solid in it's natural state and solids fall out of our atmosphere. Carbon must mix with a gas, such as oxygen, to create another gas, carbon dioxide, to enter the atmosphere.
Process by which carbon circulatesaroundthe earth as plants remove carbon from the atmosphere and animals add carbon to the atmosphere?
Carbon Cycle.
Does burning fossil fuels remove carbon from the atmosphere?
No, it puts carbon into the atmosphere.
Is the atmosphere a carbon store?
yes the atmosphere is a long term carbon store
Why are scientist concerned that rain forest are being cut down at high rates?
Forests are often described as the "lungs" of the earth. This is because they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to global warming. When forests are cut down, less carbon dioxide is absorbed and more exists in the air, thus contributing to global warming.
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
Process by which carbon circulates around the earth as plants remove carbon from the atmosphere and animal add carbon to the atmosphere?
The carbon cycle
