Carbon dioxide gets put back in the air in a variety of ways. It can come from the burning of fossil fuels, automobiles, industry, the respiration from plants, and the decay of animal matter.

What is the role of volcanic eruption in nitrogen fixation?
they put carbon dioxide back in the atmosphere
What happens to all the carbon dioxide in a spacesuit?
The air in a spacesuit is constantly circulated. The suit air is passed through a type of absorbent filter that absorbs carbon dioxide called a scrubber. This clean air is returned to the spacesuit, usually with the addition of a little fresh oxygen. In addition to having a limited supply of oxygen, the astronaut must also estimate how much carbon dioxide the filter has absorbed. It has a limited capacity, and once it is maxed-out, it can no longer remover carbon dioxide. When the astronaut is back aboard the spacecraft or space station, they will resupply the oxygen and put in a fresh carbon dioxide scrubber.
What process put carbon dioxide into the air?
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
What job the lungs perform in eliminating wastes from the body?
Yes, in a way. They take out the carbon dioxide from the blood and put the oxygen back in the blood. The sole purpose of the blood is to get oxygen from the lungs and bring it to other body parts and take the carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
What test can you carry out to show that carbon dioxide is denser than air?
One of my favorites is to get a big bath jar and put dry ice in the bottom. Cover it (loosely) to keep air from stirring it up and let some of the dry ice evaporate. IF carbon dioxide is heavier than air, the carbon dioxide will fill the bottom of the bath, and you can float a soap bubble filled with ordinary air on the heavier carbon dioxide layer. Try it and see.You could also construct an apparatus with candles at various heights and connect it with tubing to a carbon dioxide source (such as a compressed gas cylinder). As the carbon dioxide enters the tank with the candles, it should fill up the tank in such a way that the lowest candles are extinguished first.
How does cars put carbon dioxide into the air?
Burning gasoline releases the carbon dioxide.
What do plants put in the air?
carbon dioxide
What is the major driving force of the oxygen cycle?
the main two processes are plant photosynthesis, which takes carbon dioxide out of the air, and plant and animal respiration which put carbon dioxide back into the air.

Why exhaling carbon dioxide can not put out a fire?
When you exhale, you are not exhaling carbon dioxide. You are exhaling air with a slightly higher-than-normal concentration of carbon dioxide and a slightly lower-than-normal concentration of oxygen. Carbon dioxide extinguishes fire by forcing oxygen away from the fuel, but the air you exhale still has more than enough oxygen to support combustion.
What is the modern word for fixed air?
carbon dioxide. (experiment by: Jason Priestly) He put a mouse in a jar, the mouse couldn't breathe. Then he put a plant in the same jar as the mouse, and the mouse could breathe!

How do cars put carbon dioxide into the air?
The internal combustion engine ignites the fuel. That fuel then expands as it burns into carbon dioxide. Carbo ndioxide is what is left from the burning of fossil fuels.
How is carbon dioxide put into rocks?
Carbon dioxide can form carbonates when it react with a basic substance
What do you get when you put one carbon and two oxygen?
carbon dioxide
