The same way as most other countries around the world. Fossil fuels are used in power stations to generate electricity. Industry and transport rely on coal and oil to be productive. All this pollutes the atmosphere in China.

How have humans added excess amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere?

People added carbon dioxide to the Earth's atmosphere by polluting with fires, carbon dioxide from cars, smoke, and other things that pollute the Earth's atmosphere. Also, when we pollute the atmosphere gets thinner and more heat is coming in and the ice in the poles would melt and increase the water level in the ocean.


Do cars pollute the air or people?

Both. Cars emit Hydrocarbons + Nitrogen Oxides + Carbon Dioxide + Carbon Monoxide. People emit Methane and Carbon Dioxide.


How are people adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere's?

People are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. I believe


Do people affect climate?

Our method of transport that burns fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases which pollute the atmosphere and creates global warming which warms up the climate. The production of electricity from burning coal or natural gas is a huge contributor to the over production of carbon dioxide as well. Agriculture also produces carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a natural occurrence but too much carbon dioxide has a negative impact - our planet is warming.


Do fireplaces pollute the environment?

Not exactly, but they can bug other people if they land in other people's lawns


How does respiration affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Respiration, breathing, has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is part of the natural carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for millions of years. This extra gas is increasing in the atmosphere.


What role do carbon dioxide play in the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle?

Carbon dioxide plays a crucial role in the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle. Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to produce oxygen as a byproduct. This process helps to maintain the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere, supporting life on Earth.


Name two ways in which carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere-?

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, which releases carbon stored in these fuels. Additionally, deforestation and land-use changes can also contribute to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere as trees store carbon and their removal releases it.


How have people contributed to pollution?

well people have breathed carbon dioxide or c20 which there is a lot of and our cars pollute the air. plus a lot of the other things poison our environment that are made by man


How is carbon returned to the atmosphere?

Carbon is returned to the atmosphere through processes like respiration by animals and plants, decomposition of organic matter, wildfires, and volcanic eruptions. These processes release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, completing the carbon cycle.


Do venus and earth have the same amount of carbon dioxide?

No, Venus has far more carbon dioxide. Earth's atmosphere is about .04% carbon dioxide. By contrast, Venus has an atmosphere that is 96% carbon dioxide and 93 times thicker than earth's. This means that Venus' atmosphere contains over 200,000 times more CO2 than earth's atmosphere does.


Would increase in human population disturb the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide?

Yes, an increase in human population can disrupt the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide. More people means more carbon dioxide emissions from activities such as burning fossil fuels, which can result in higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This can in turn lead to higher levels of carbon dioxide being absorbed by oceans and ecosystems, affecting the overall balance of these gases in the atmosphere.
