If there wasn't we should all be dead right about now. Carbon dioxide is the most influential factor in the greenhouse effect of our planet. It allows visible light rays to pass into the atmosphere, however as they pass through it, many are refracted into infrared radiation (Heat/Thermal Energy). The infrared rays are now too weak to escape our atmosphere, and therefore heat has become trapped, allowing the atmosphere to remain at a temperature that is suitable for the life on this planet. Therefore, of course there is still carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Carbon in the atmosphere is most often found as which of the following compounds?
List the compounds so I can answer your question. I would imagine Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide would be the first 2.
Does carbon dioxide sink or rise in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide rises in the atmosphere.
What molecule carries most of the carbon in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the molecule that carries most of the carbon in the atmosphere.
Does Soils emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Yes, I think soil can emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The process of decay releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
The process of decay releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
How could cutting down trees lead to the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. When trees are cut down and not replaced, this carbon dioxide is no longer absorbed, leading to an increase in its levels in the atmosphere. Additionally, when trees are burnt or decompose, the stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Carbon is stored in the atmosphere in the form of what molecule?
Carbon is stored in the atmosphere primarily as carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule.
What the from of carbon in the atmosphere?
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.
What percentage of carbon dioxide is in mars atmosphere?
About 95.3% of Mars' atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide.
How many pounds of carbon dioxide is remove form the atmosphere annually when a tree is removed?
When a tree is removed, it can release the carbon dioxide it has stored over its lifetime back into the atmosphere, instead of removing it. So, the removal of a tree can actually lead to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, depending on how the tree is handled and if it is replaced with new plantings.
How man contribute to the formation of the atmosphere?
Well I know that the atmosphere has carbon dioxide in it, and when we breath out we release carbon dioxide that could be then added to the atmosphere.
What 3 gases made up the earths atmosphere a lot of years ago?
carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and still nitrogen
