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.

Renewable power plants like wind farms and solar farms do not add carbon to the atmosphere, nor do they remove it. Nuclear power plants do not add carbon, either.
The carbon cycle, mainly trees and green plants, oceans and many animals (particularly plankton) remove carbon naturally from the atmosphere, but the only thing so far that will remove the carbon dioxide from fossil fuel is extra trees.

Cycle in which volcanic activity and burning fossil fuels plays a role?
The Carbon Cycle
What does the burning of fossil fuels release into the carbon-oxygen cycle?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
What cycle do humans affect by burning fossil fuels?
We affect the earth's regular carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels. Coal and oil combustion adds billions of tons of carbon to the atmosphere, carbon that has been stored underground for millions of years.
What Carbon moves through the carbon cycle in all of the processes except what?
Carbon moves through the carbon cycle in all processes, except for the burning of fossil fuels. Fossil fuel burning releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, which disrupts the natural carbon cycle by increasing the concentration of CO2, a greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere.
How do men return the carbon stored in fossil fuels to the carbon oxygen cycle by burning what?
Men return this to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. The problem here is that the release is triggering global warming.
Does burning fossil fuels affect the water cycle?
No, the burning of fossil fuels affects the carbon cycle, but not the water cycle.
What is one cost you have to pay for burning fossil fuel?
Burning fossil fuels releases lots of carbon into the atmosphere much faster than the natural carbon cycle. This causes excess carbon and greenhouse environments that can impact climate.
Which cycle involves volcanic activity and burning fossil fuels?
The carbon cycle.
Which cycle is directly affected by burning fossils fuels?
The carbon cycle, because the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
Cycle in which volcanic activity and burning fossil fuels plays a role?
The Carbon Cycle
What does the burning of fossil fuels release into the carbon-oxygen cycle?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
What cycle is most affected when burning of fossil fuels by cars and factories?
Carbon
What other humans activity is loading the carbon cycle?
the burning of fossil fuels

How has the burning of fossil fuels affected 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.
