If you cut down a tree do you release the carbon that is stored in it?
Cutting a tree is a physical change. To release the carbon, there has to be a chemical change. Burning or rotting will release the carbon.
What is the effect of burning wood and coal?
Burning wood and coal add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, where it joins other greenhouse gases to contribute to the greenhouse effect. Burning wood may only release carbon that has been stored for some years, depending on the age of the tree. Burning wood will usually not add to the normal carbon cycle, especially if another tree is growing in its place. Burning coal, however, releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away underground for millions of years. This extra carbon disrupts the natural carbon cycle and is causing the enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing the present global warming.
What are three things that put carbon dioxide into the air by burning?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)Burning trees (half a tree is carbon)Burning any garbage (most things on earth have large amounts of carbon in them)
How much carbon does a tree consume?
I read a tree can consume about 2000 pounds of carbon in a lifetime.
Is burning a tree chemical or physical?
well its both because...it's a chemical change because when the tree is burning it's letting oxygen and carbon oxide in the air. It's also a physical change because if that tree is sharing roots with another tree that other tree root will become damaged and will sooner or later will be dry rotted and the tree will fall over(it can also damage the grass around it).

Why is more carbon dioxide being produced?
More carbon dioxide is being produced primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Would a growing maple tree a running dog a person driving a car or a burning forest most decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the air?
A growing maple tree
Why does tree burning increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
A growing tree absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and stores the carbon in its roots, trunk, branches and leaves. It usually takes decades, sometimes hundreds of years before it becomes a fully grown tree. By the end of that time about half its weight is carbon. When the tree is burnt it releases all that hundred years of carbon into the atmosphere in a matter of minutes. If we burn trees quicker than new trees grow to replace them (loss of forest land to agriculture, deforestation, etc.) the amount of CO2 will increase in the atmosphere.
Why does burning trash release carbon dioxide CO2?
Most things are made from carbon. More than half a tree is carbon; more than half of the human body is carbon. The same with trash.Burning, combustion, is a chemical change where one atom of carbon (C) combines with two atoms of oxygen (O2) to make carbon dioxide, (CO2).It should be noted that burning trash does notcontribute to global warming, as the carbon released into the atmosphere was recently removed from the atmosphere when the item was manufactured. So this is part of the natural carbon cycle.The carbon from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) on the other hand, has been out of circulation, buried under the earth for 300 million years, so releasing this does contribute to global warming.
If a tree releases carbon di oxide in night time then what is the use of Tree?
it consumes a much greater amount of carbon di oxide during the day
Is burning tree a chemical reaction?
Yes. New substances are formed, mostly carbon dioxide and water, so it's a chemical change.
