How does burning fossil fuels affect the makeup of gases in the atmosphere?
The overall change in our atmosphere has been about 0.009% since 1800. Most of this change is due to increases in carbon dioxide which now make up about 0.038% of our atmosphere. Much of the rest is due to increases in the level of methane, which has seen a 1 ppm increase.
What human activity increases nitrogen oxide?
The burning of fossil fuels in the atmosphere and examples are coal and natural gas.
Does burning fossil fuels remove carbon from the atmosphere?
No, it puts carbon into the atmosphere.
How does burning fossil fuels affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by increasing it.
Do burning fuels add nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Yes, burning fossil fuel adds nitrogen, in the form of nitric oxide, to the atmosphere.
How is coal burning electrical plant different from a hydroeletric plant?
Burning coal emits harmful chemicals into the atmosphere which increases the Greenhouse Effect. Water is pure therefore harmless to the environment.

no
What gas promotes burning in our atmosphere?
Oxygen.
How does burning fossil fuels affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by increasing it.
What are some human activity effects atmosphere?
it affect s atmosphere by burning plastics.
What are the parts of the sun's atmosphere?
The sun does not have an atmosphere - it is a star, not a planet. It is a ball of burning gas.
How does weather change?
Weather changes by how much water vapor is in the air. Carbon dioxide is another reason. for example, burning fossil fuels increases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Is a candle burning chemical change?
Yes, burning a candle is a chemical change. New chemical compounds are being formed as the reaction continues. The paraffin in the candle is a hydrocarbon chain, and it is "breaking down" chemically using oxygen from the air to form (idealy) carbon dioxide and water. But there are also physical changes that take place at the same time. Phenomena during the candle burning: - melting (physical phenomenon) - evaporation (may be considered a chemical but also a physical phenomenon) - oxydation - reaction with oxygen, burning (chemical phenomenon) - thermal decomposition (chemical phenomenon)
How does burning fossil fuels affect earths atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere. This can raise global temperatures.
