Burning fossil fuels has released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. Some claim this results in global warming.
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.
The burning of fossil fuels dramatically increases the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere which is thought to be a major contributor to global warming.
the carbon cycle
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide that has been stored underground for 300 million years. This extra load is disrupting the carbon cycle, which is unable to move all the extra carbon dioxide out of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
No cycle. Transpiration is part of the water cycle, and photosynthesis is what plants do to feed themselves.Carbon cycle involves both of them. Photosynthesis remove Carbon from atmosphere. Respiration release them back
No, the burning of fossil fuels affects the carbon cycle, but not the water cycle.
We affect the earth's regular carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels. Coal and oil combustion adds billions of tons of carbon to the atmosphere, carbon that has been stored underground for millions of years.
The carbon cycle.
The carbon cycle, because the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
The Carbon Cycle
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
What affect does the burning of focil fuels have on the carbon cycle
Carbon
the burning of fossil fuels
Carbon moves through the carbon cycle in all processes, except for the burning of fossil fuels. Fossil fuel burning releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, which disrupts the natural carbon cycle by increasing the concentration of CO2, a greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere.
The carbon cycle moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere and has kept a balance there for millions of years. The carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have kept the earth warm. Burning fossil fuel releases CO2 that has been held underground for millennia, so this carbon is an extra burdenon the carbon cycle, and it is not able to remove all the extra CO2.This is how the carbon cycle is being disturbed. This is what is causing global warming and hence climate change.
Respiration is part of the carbon cycle and does not affect global warming.
