How many pounds of carbon dioxide is in your atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring compound in the atmosphere. Total amount has to be in the trillions of pounds. There is a more in depth answer at the link below.
How many pounds of carbon dioxide is remove form the atmosphere annually when a tree is removed?
When a tree is removed, it can no longer remove any carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Why are many scientists concerned about humans adding large amounts of carbon to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels?
Because the addition of extra carbon to the atmosphere is putting a load on the carbon cycle that is impossible to carry. The carbon cycle is not able to remove the extra CO2 which remains in the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas, absorbing more and more heat. This is causing global warming.
Carbon dioxide is building up in your atmosphere for two reasons The first is that many of your activities produce carbon dioxide The second reason is that some of your activities limit the amount of?
The amount of carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere. (These activities are cutting down and destroying forests.)
What happened to the earth's climate after Rodinia broke up?
With the break up of the supercontinenent, Rodinia, there were of course many smaller continents which led to more rainfall and consequently less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (since rain "washes" the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere). As a result of less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, temperatures dropped and ice began to form in polar regions.
How many times greater is the percent of oxygen than the percent of carbon dioxide by volume?
The answer depends on the context: in the atmosphere, dissolved in the oceans, or whatever,
What is the role of the atmosphere in the carbon cycle?
Nature produces the vast bulk of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Rotting trees, and dead matter produce over 90% of the current levels of carbon dioxide. Man produces between 3 and 6 percent of all CO2 annually.
Do plants exhale carbon di oxide at night?
Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis in plants and by dissolving in water, especially on the surface of oceans. Plants inhale carbon dioxide
How many times can photons warm the earth with carbon dioxide present?
A single photon can only transfer its energy once. Carbon dioxide prevents heat photons leaving the atmosphere therefore the atmosphere warms.
Carbon dioxide in ocean water is?
Given off by animals as a waste product. Used by plants to maintain life. nova net Carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered a trace gas in the atmosphere because it is much less abundant than oxygen or nitrogen. However, this trace gas plays a vital role in sustaining life on Earth and in controlling the Earth's climate by trapping heat in the atmosphere. The oceans play an important role in regulating the amount of CO2in the atmosphere because CO2 can move quickly into and out of the oceans. Once in the oceans, the CO2 no longer traps heat. CO2 also moves quickly between the atmosphere and the land biosphere (material that is or was living on land). Of the three places where carbon is stored-atmosphere, oceans, and land biosphere-approximately 93 percent of the CO2 is found in the oceans. The atmosphere, at about 750 petagrams of carbon (a petagram [Pg] is 1*10^15 grams), has the smallest amount of carbon. Approximately 90 to 100 Pg of carbon moves back and forth between the atmosphere and the oceans, and between the atmosphere and the land biosphere. Although these exchange rates are large relative to the total amount of carbon stored in the atmosphere, the concentration of CO2 was constant at 280 parts per million (ppm) by volume for at least 1,000 years prior to the industrial era. Atmospheric concentrations of CO2 were constant because the carbon being removed from the atmosphere in some places exactly matched the CO2 being added to the atmosphere in other places. Marine plants and animals play a role in the uptake and release of carbon dioxide in the ocean. Plants, primarily phytoplankton but also macrophytes such as this seaweed, take up carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which oxygen-dependent animals need to survive.
How many miles thick is the atmosphere of Venus?
venus has thick posnis atmosphere
How many atmosphere in planet Venus'?
Venus is extremely dense atmosphere with mostly carbon dioxide and a little of nitrogen. this atmosphere is 93 times of the earth's atmosphere. Venus has thick cloud layer of sulpher dioxide which produce the rain of sulpheric acid. it is the night-mare indeed to be there.
Wow many tons of carbon do you put into the atmosphere annually?
I have no clue. How much do you put in the atmosphere annually?
How many pounds of carbon dioxide is in your atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring compound in the atmosphere. Total amount has to be in the trillions of pounds. There is a more in depth answer at the link below.
What is the gases in atmosphere of earth?
the atmosphere is made of carbon dioxide and other gases e.g. oxygen and carbon dioxide
The carbon cycle is an example of an?
The carbon cycle is an example of a biogeochemical cycle. It causes many geological changes such as major releases of carbon dioxide from oceans and volcanic eruptions.
How does the burning of fossil fuels impact the carbon cycle?
Power plants burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) add to global warming. Global warming puts more heat (energy) into the atmosphere. This will probably mean a wetter atmosphere and increased precipitation.
