Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity (which releases carbon dioxide) man is causing global warming and climate change. This may not damage the earth, but it will certainly harm the people, birds and animals that live here.
What else can I help you with?
Is carbon dioxide unique to earth?
Carbon Dioxide do exist in universe in places other than Earth.
What are two environmentally damaging products in large quantities when oil is burned?
Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide
What are some examples of environmentally damaging acid?
Carbon dioxide co2 etc...
What are two environmentally damaging products obtained in large quantities when oil is burned?
Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide
Do trees help the earth?
they breath out oxygen for the humans and breath in carbon dioxide which helps the earth have less carbon dioxide
What would happen if the insulating layer of carbon dioxide around the earth gets thicker?
There is no insulating LAYER of Carbon Dioxide round the Earth. The Carbon Dioxide is mixed up with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere and is not present in the atmosphere as a layer. If the absolute amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the Earth would get warmer.
Is carbon in Earth's atmosphere?
carbon monixide, carbon dioxide, and plain carbon
Carbon is present in earth's atmosphere in the form of this gas?
Carbon is present in Earth's atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Where is most of earth carbon?
In the atmosphere, in the form of carbon dioxide
Starting billions of years ago algae lowered the levels in the atmosphere?
Carbon Dioxide
Is there more nitrogen or carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere?
There is much more nitrogen in earth's atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen forms about 79%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
How is carbon dioxide consumed on earth?
The earth's carbon cycle moves carbon dioxide in and out of the atmosphere, into oceans, soil, animals and vegetation and back again. The oceans absorb some CO2, but only the surface water. The oceans are becoming more acidic and damaging coral and fish. Trees and vegetation take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. This carbon is stored within the plant or tree and stays there until the tree is destroyed. About half the weight of a tree is carbon.
