The water/hydrologic cycle describes the flow of water on the earth surface, atmosphere and ocean. Water vapor in the atmosphere is formed via evapotranspiration. Plants release water via transpiration, and water evaporates from the soil.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is released from various sources such as living beings, industries, automobiles, burning of fossil fuels, etc.

  • Respiration from plants and animals.
  • Decay of plant and animal matter. This converts to carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen, or into methane if there is no oxygen.
  • Burning of any organic material oxidizes the carbon to produce carbon dioxide.
    • Burning fossil fuels releases CO2 that has been stored for millions of years.
    • Burning biofuels releases CO2 that has been stored for only a few years, or less.
  • Production of cement. When limestone is heated to produce lime, CO2 is released.
  • As the oceans become warmer, CO2 is released from the surface.
  • Volcanoes emit water vapor, CO2 and sulfur dioxide. Silicate weathering is a process that removes CO2 and the two processes, the chemical reverse of each other, cancel each other out.

Carbon dioxide is manufactured mainly from seven processes:

  1. As a by-product in ammonia and hydrogen plants, where methane is converted to CO2;
  2. from combustion of wood and fossil fuels;
  3. as a by-product of fermentation of sugar in the brewing of beer, whiskey and other Alcoholic Beverages;
  4. from thermal decomposition of limestone, CaCO3,
  5. in the manufacture of lime, CaO,
  6. as a by-product of sodium phosphate manufacture,
  7. directly from natural carbon dioxide springs, where it is produced by the action of acidified water on limestone or dolomite.

See the links below.

  • The two main ways that carbon enters the atmosphere is by combustion and bio process. CO2 or CO are the main two atmospheric carbon gases. Carbon monoxide is formed when a hydro-carbon fuel is burned without sufficient oxygen. This gas is still combustible this is what a catalytic converter does, it burns the unburned fuel and carbon monoxide into CO2. The modern gas engine does a poor job of efficiently burning fuel, mainly because the piston dynamics is so poor in a crank driven piston. Carbon is also part of many volatile chemicals which can evaporate into the air.
  • combustion
  • death & respiration
  • when people breathe, we release carbon dioxide, the gas for of carbon, into the atmosphere. with too few trees to use it to make oxygen, we have global warming.
  • When animals and plants respire, we release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In addition, some cars release fuels such as carbon dioxide.
  • by circulation

photosynthesis

The primary method is through respiration and decay. Over 96% of carbon dioxide is emitted into our atmosphere through natural means. The remaining 3% is through man made methods, with over half from the heating and cooling of our buildings.

It doesn't come to the Earth. It is made on the Earth with sources such as trees,or plants converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. The other way round at night. Oxygen made it presence known about 2.3 billion years ago in the "Great Oxidation Event". Carbon dioxide, water vapor, and oxygen all form a cycle involving the plant and animal kingdoms as actors. Plants draw in carbon dioxide and water vapor, and respire out oxygen. Animals respire in oxygen, and expel carbon dioxide and water vapor. Ozone is formed in the atmosphere from oxygen, using UV-C light from the Sun.

It is trapped in a lot of the things we burn as fuel (e.g. coal and oil) so when we burn it the carbon dioxide is released and goes into the atmosphere. Other human activities that add CO2 to the atmosphere include deforestation and cement manufacture. This accounts for about 3% of all annually produced CO2. Since this proportion is an addition to the total amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide, over time the level has increased by around 35 per cent from 260-280 parts per million (ppm) to the present 380 ppm.

Plants rotting, volcanoes and nature account for the remaining values. (97%)

Seasonal plant decay accounts for most of the CO2 pumped into the atmosphere over the course of a year. This CO2 is reabsorbed by plant growth via photosynthesis during the spring and summer.

Volcanoes also emit a little bit of CO2. Nature apparently has been able to sequester this, as volcanic activity has not appreciably raised CO2 levels over the past 800,000 years, per analysis of Antarctic ice cores.

A much larger source of CO2 emissions is human activity, responsible for an additional 30 billion tons per year.

Carbon dioxide is a chemical by-product of mammals, in the exhaled breaths. They give off carbion dioxide, and use oxygen. Plants give off oxygen, and use carbon dioxide. As to other species of animals--reptiles/insects/birds, I would assume that they too exhale carbon dioxide.

Gases do not get into the atmosphere because they are already apart of it. gases are a type of air.
