It enters our atmosphere through dead animals, tress and any decaying or burning item that lived. It is believed by some that the change in our atmosphere of concentrations of CO@ may be as high as 0.007%. Some feel this number is wildly high.

Oceans provide the largest sink for absorbing this CO2 from our air. Forests provide the largest generator for CO2. Man produces roughly 6% of all CO2 in our atmosphere.

How many pounds of carbon dioxide is remove form the atmosphere annually when a tree is removed?

When a tree is removed, it can release the carbon dioxide it has stored over its lifetime back into the atmosphere, instead of removing it. So, the removal of a tree can actually lead to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, depending on how the tree is handled and if it is replaced with new plantings.

What are three sources of carbon on earth?

A source of carbon is any thing that releases carbon. Animals, plants and fossils are three main sources of carbon.


What process releases carbon into the atmosphere from fossil fuels?

Combustion. Fossil fuels contain carbon, hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other elements. But the largest is Carbon. So when such fuels burn they combine with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in air to form Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides etc. Any form of carbon when burns produces carbon dioxide.


When carbon reacts with an acid what gas is given off?

carbon dioxide. CO32- + 2H+ -> CO2 + H2O


Is carbon dioxide cold in gas form?

No. Carbon dioxide gas is not necessarily any temperature. It may be cold in some cases, but as a component of the atmosphere it is often found at room temperature. Since it is a product of combustion, extremely hot carbon dioxide may be found in most flames.


Where is carbon found in the biosphere?

In the atmosphere as Carbon Dioxide (Co2) Underground as fossil fuels and calcium carbonate rock In the oceans as dissolved Co2


What emits more carbon dioxide per unit of energy produced than any other form of energy?

Coal emits more carbon dioxide per unit of energy produced than any other form of energy. Burning coal releases large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, contributing significantly to climate change and global warming.


How would the amount of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere change if there were no plants and animal?

If there were no plants it is unlikely that there would be any atmosphere at all. Plants remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and are a vital part of the carbon cycle. No plants would mean huge increases of greenhouse gases in the air and a runaway greenhouse effect. Animals on the other hand would make little or no difference to the levels of carbon in the atmosphere.
