What is the average pounds of carbon dioxide are emitted by a car annually?

It depends on the amount driven and the efficiency of the engine. Essentially 85% of the weight of fuel (gasoline or diesel) is carbon so about 750 g of carbon is emitted for each liter burnt.

What two gases are emitted from volcanoes?
carbon dioxide and carbonmonoxide.
Cement work might reduce carbon dioxide why?
The cement work cannot reduce carbon dioxide. In fact, the cement work increases carbon dioxide because carbon dioxide is emitted during the production of cement.
Most common gas emitted during volcanic?
I think it is carbon dioxide.
How much carbon dioxide is created by ferries?
Global carbon dioxide emissions are 26 gigatonnes (26 billion tonnes) of carbon dioxide annually (2013).Carbon dioxide from all shipping is 4% to 5% of global emissions (1,300,000,000 (1.3 billion) tonnes).Ferries make up less than 1% of all shipping.So ferries probably emit around 13,000,000 (13 million) tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.
The two principle absorbers of radiation emitted by earth's surface are carbon doxide and?
water vapor and carbon dioxide.
Is CO2 emitted by incandescent bulb?
No, carbon dioxide is not emitted by an incandescent lamp.
Why carbon dioxide is emitted by vehicles?
Carbon Dioxide is given off because when the gasoline combusts C02 is left
Why is carbon dioxide emitted when a bottle of coke is opened?
Yes it is!
What two gases are emitted from volcanoes?
carbon dioxide and carbonmonoxide.
How would a planet have an all carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Such an atmosphere on a planet would be the result of carbon dioxide emitted from volcanoes.
What role do volcanoes play in emitting carbon dioxide?
They are part of the carbon cycle, and certainly are extremely important over the longest time scales. But in recent geological history volcanic activity has been very quiet, emitting an average of 0.25 gigatons annually (compared to about 35 gigatons emitted by human activity).
Cement work might reduce carbon dioxide why?
The cement work cannot reduce carbon dioxide. In fact, the cement work increases carbon dioxide because carbon dioxide is emitted during the production of cement.
What kind of gas is emitted by vehicles?
Mostly Carbon Dioxide CO2
What type of energy is emitted by greenhouse?
water vapor and carbon dioxide
How much carbon dioxide is released during the cutting of a tree?
The only carbon dioxide released by simply cutting the tree is that which is produced by the energy required to cut the tree: the human breathing out carbon dioxide as he swings an axe or uses a saw, the carbon dioxide emitted by a chainsaw's combustion engine, or the carbon dioxide emitted by logging machinery while cutting the tree. Significantly more carbon is emitted afterward as the lumber is transported from the site and as the tree is cut up into smaller pieces, then the smaller pieces are shipped all over. Finally, as the wood biodegrades (or burns), some carbon dioxide will be released.
What is the most commion greenhouse gas emitted from human activities?
carbon-dioxide.
What are the most common gases emitted by volcanoes?
Water Vapor and Carbon Dioxide
