What is the problem with a small increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere?
A small amount of carbon dioxide is all it takes to keep the earth comfortably warm for millions of years. A small increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is all it takes to cause global warming and threaten the future of the human race.
Why is the percentage of carbon dioxide so high?
The percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is so lhigh because we have been burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) since the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago. The percentage now (2013) is 0.04%, up from 0.028% then.
What causes more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil (as we do to power our vehicles and to produce electricity) releases extra carbon dioxide that has been hidden away underground for millions of years.
Where does co2 loading occur?
- carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere: - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by the biosphere - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by body of waters
How does respiration affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Respiration, breathing, has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is part of the natural carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for millions of years. This extra gas is increasing in the atmosphere.
How has the atmosphere changed?
Carbon dioxide is increasing in the atmosphere, and oxygen is decreasing.
What is the percentage of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere?
12.358% of Sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere.78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and other gases with very small percentage.
What percentage of carbon dioxide is in mars atmosphere?
95.3 Percent
Is the percentage of carbon dioxide 0.06?
Earth's atmosphere is actually composed of about 0.038% carbon dioxide.
What percentage of the Mar's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide?
95.32%
Did cyanobacteria change the young Earth's atmosphere by producing carbon dioxide?
False. Cyanobacteria changed earth's atmosphere by removing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
What percentage of carbon dioxide is on Titan?
Most of Titan's atmosphere is nitrogen. There is only trace amounts of carbon dioxide.
How has the percentage of carbon dioxide changed in the last 4500 million years?

Why have the levels of carbon dioxide changed since the early earths atmosphere?
The atmosphere has changed because of population increases and lots of factories that produce the gas. Olivia Perli
The atmosphere is composed of?
Nitrogen,Oxygen,Carbon Dioxide And The rest of the percentage is other gases
How does the percentage of carbon dioxide and oxygen stay roughly the same in your atmosphere?
It is because plants take in carbon dioxide and breathe out Oxygen whereas, man and animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. This cycle of life maintaines a roughly same percentage of O2 and CO2 in the atmosphere.
What is the percentage of Earth's atmosphere (by volume) that is carbon dioxide?
The Earth's atmosphere is approximately 79% Nitrogen, 20% Oxygen and 1% other gasses - including Argon, Neon and Carbon Dioxide.
