Is Carbon Dioxide concentration less in the air at a height of 20ft from the ground than at the ground level?

As Carbon Dioxide is "heavier" than air, logic suggests that the answer would be yes, and this would be true in an inclosed environment, such as a room with no ventillation. All of this concentration issue is subject to several variables as to whether a significant and detectable/measurable difference exists, although it can. However, in the outdoors [suggested by the question word "ground"], it is probable that due to wind, and in the absence of wind, upward thermal convection, there would be a tendency for intermixing and dilution of the CO2 concerntration resulting in little difference. Also however, it is probable that with sophisticated and highly sensitive monitoring equipment, that that small difference in concentration could be detected, and if great enough, be measured.j3h.

What are the major elements of Mars atmosphere?
Over 95% is carbon dioxide. The rest is: 2.7% nitrogen, 1.6% argon, 0.2% oxygen, 0.07% carbon monoxide, 0.03% water vapor, 0.01% nitric oxide, and any of the remaining elements are under a few parts per million.
When particles diffuse. from what concentration to what concentration do they diffuse?
really? height to low buddy, high to low. if you compress air where does it want to go?
How does photosynthesis affect global warming?
Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates, and other biological compounds, which reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. This is the difference between plants and animals. The carbon dioxide is stored in the plants until they decompose or are burned. So, for example, each fall when the trees lose their leaves and the plants die the level of carbon in the atmosphere goes up. The rest of the tree, bark etc., does not continue to absorb carbon. Plants only take in carbon so long as they are growing and not after they have reached their natural height. Planting trees and other plants is one component of the solution to global warming, but the number of plants we have now cannot consume more carbon than they already do, and there is some evidence that warmer temperatures make photosynthesis more difficult.
The amount of gravitaional potential energy that an object has depends on its weight and?
On the object's weight and height above the chosen reference level (for example, above ground level).On the object's weight and height above the chosen reference level (for example, above ground level).On the object's weight and height above the chosen reference level (for example, above ground level).On the object's weight and height above the chosen reference level (for example, above ground level).
If you have filled a graduated cylinder with carbon dioxide The cylinder is 80 cm tall and has a radius of 2 cm If carbon dioxide has a density of 0.0045 gcm cubed what is the mass of the gas?
Cylinder Volume = (pi) *(radius2)*(height) Cylinder volume = (3.1416)*(22)*(80) Cylinder volume = 1005.312 cm Density = Mass / Volume 0.0045 gcm = Mass / 1005.312 cm Mass = 0.0045 gcm * 1005.312 cm Mass = 4.523904 g

What is riding height?
Riding height on a vehicle is the height from the ground to the bottom of the car. Or how far from the ground your car sits
What is seat height on a dirt bike like is it from the ground to the top of the seat or what?
yes... the height is from the ground to the seat.. for example: the crf250r is 38 inches from the ground
A stone wall is a total of 6 feet high Only 4 feet of the wall is above the ground What part is underground?
Total height of wall = Height above the ground + Height below the ground Let us take the height below the ground as X 6 = 4 + X X = 6 - 4 = 2 Height underground is 2 feed
How to convert gaseous carbon dioxide to solid carbon dioxide?
The same as most substances, CO2 must be cooled and put under increased pressure to become a solid. At one atmosphere, CO2 must be cooled to a temperature of -78.5 degrees Celsius to solidify. At height pressures CO2 solidifies at higher temperatures, however solid CO2 never exists at a temperature above -56.4 degrees Celsius.

Maximum height of car from ground?
In general and as a rule around the world, a vehicle's height should not exceed 14 feet from the ground. As for cars, it is also generally accepted that the height of its roof from the ground should not exceed 60 inches or 5 feet.

How does baking soda affect the height of a cake?
Baking soda releases carbon dioxide gas, which forms timy bubbles in the cake batter. These bubbles cause the batter to "foam up", and raises the thickness of a baked layer of cake.
What increases with its height above the ground?
Potential Energy
