How does carbon and nitrogen affect the atmosphere?
Carbon affects the atmosphere when humans burn fossil fuels into the air and other chemicals
How does carbon dioxide go back in the atmosphere?
Cellular respiration by producers and consumers returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.-Cellular respiration-Volcanic eruptions-Human interference (burning of fossil fuels)
What is added into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels?
Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas added to the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What forms when water vapor combines with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Fossil Fuels
How does the burning of fossil increase the greenhouse effect?
by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

Does burning fossil fuels remove carbon from the atmosphere?
No, it puts carbon into the atmosphere.
How is the carbon present in dead animals and plants returned to the atmosphere?
Yes it is recycled, unless it is sequestered by geologic processes (to become a fossil fuel).
How does burning fossil fuels affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by increasing it.
By what process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
What process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
Are fossil fuels carbon-based?
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2. Yes.
How does carbon get into the atmosphere?
Carbon gets back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through the combustion of fossil fuels, and the cellular respiration of living things.
How does carbon and nitrogen affect the atmosphere?
Carbon affects the atmosphere when humans burn fossil fuels into the air and other chemicals
How are people adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere's?

How has the burning of fossil fuels affect the carbon cycle?
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.
