How do men return the carbon stored in fossil fuels to the carbon oxygen cycle by burning what?

Men return this to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. The problem here is that the release is triggering global warming.

What two processes return carbon from organisms to the nonliving environment?
combustion (burning of fossil fuels) and decomposition.
What process is breathing carbon dioxide?
Respiration. We breathe in oxygen, and return carbon dioxide to the air.
Why is the Carbon-Oxygen cycle vaulable to the biotic community?
Carbon-oxygen cycle is valuable to the biotic community Because we take in oxygen that plants put off and we release carbon dioxide which in return plants take in then release oxygen again.
Explain how people are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
There is a natural cycle in which animals add carbon dioxide to the air and plants remove it, thus maintaining a stable concentration of carbon dioxide over a very long period of time. Humans are part of this natural cycle. Since the start of the Industrial Age, humans have been adding additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, increasing the proportion by around 35 per cent, from 260-280 parts per million (ppm) to the present 380 ppm. We do this by burning fossil fuels, manufacturing cement and by deforestation. We can reduce our impact on carbon dioxide concentrations by reducing and eventually eliminating our consumption of coal, oil and natural gas, by finding alternative processes for cement manufacture, including the capture and sequestration of gas produced, and by ceasing deforestation - even allowing some forests to return.
How could humans help the carbon cycle return to normal?
I know your from k12 but choose an answer from hereA. cap volcanoes so that they do not release more carbon dioxideB. pump nitrogen and oxygen into the air to help rebalance the atmosphereC. cut down trees and other large plants that depend on carbon dioxideD. reduce the amount of fossil fuels they combust
People return carbon stored in fossil fuels to the carbon-oxygen cycle by burning what?
By burning the fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are natural fuels such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
What two processes return carbon from organisms to the nonliving environment?
combustion (burning of fossil fuels) and decomposition.
How does burning fossil fuels hurt the biosphere?
the release of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and other sources adds to the greenhouse effect, increasing global warming. Fossil fuel pollution can return to earth in the form of acid rain, harmful to our forests and wild life. As well fossil fuels release volatile organic compounds, harmful to our health.
What process is breathing carbon dioxide?
Respiration. We breathe in oxygen, and return carbon dioxide to the air.
What is the source of the oxygen ?
trees. Trees produce oxygen and in return we give them Co2 (carbon dioxide).
How does fossil fuels burning affect the climate?
The burning of oil, gas and coal has numerous environmental impacts. On a global scale, the release of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and other sources adds to the greenhouse effect, increasing global warming, which is causing the present climate changes. Fossil fuel pollution can return to earth in the form of acid rain, harmful to our forests and wild life. As well fossil fuels release volatile organic compounds, harmful to our health.
What is the source of free oxygen?
trees. Trees produce oxygen and in return we give them Co2 (carbon dioxide).

Describe the cycling of carbon in the carbon cycle?
The two processes of the carbon cycle are photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In photosynthesis carbon from carbon dioxide is fixed into carbohydrates. In cellular respiration, carbohydrates are broken down to form ATP and carbon in the form of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Why does a burning material is extinguished when stamped?
A fire requires three things to keep burning: fuel, oxygen, and heat. When you stomp on a fire, your foot momentarily excludes oxygen, stopping the burning. Since the burning stops for an instant, no heat is being released, allowing the fuel to cool. When you take your foot off, allowing the oxygen to return, by then it has cooled enough to prevent it from reigniting.
