What do trees release into the atmosphere?
Trees take in carbon dioxide, store the carbon in their trunks and branches, and release oxygen into the atmosphere. This process is called photosynthesis and is done by all growing vegetation.
How were gases in the earth's atmosphere produced?
During the process of outgassing, volcanic eruptions emitted the gases that founded the primitive atmosphere.
What did Algae lower in the atmosphere?
Great blooms of oceanic algae, or phytoplankton, take carbon out of the atmosphere during photosynthesis. It is then taken deep into ocean with them when they die. Scientists say that this helped cool the earth during the ice ages by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it at the ocean floor, where it cannot be recycled back into the atmosphere.
What are two non-human activities by which carbon can enter the atmosphere as CO2 during the carbon cycle?
Volcanic eruption and animal respiration.
What processes releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
RespirationCombustionDecayWeatheringThe major human processes that release carbon dioxide are the burning of carbon fuels (wood, coal, oil, gas) and the cellular respiration of animals and plants. CO2 is also released by the weathering of carbonate rocks, especially by acid rain.Cellular respiration is mainly balanced by the removal of carbon by photosynthesis, which releases oxygen. This is essentially the reverse process, removing the energy stored by forming carbohydrates.In terms of what process releases the most carbon dioxide into our atmosphere it is decaying organic matter. Total natural decay accounts for over 80% of all CO2 released annually. Natural processes in total account for 93% of all CO2 releases.
Water carbon and nitrogen are released back into the atmosphere during?
decomposition
When carbon is released to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide when you breathe during the process of?
photosynthesis
What relese during respiration?
When you exhale, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.
How is the balance mainted between the volume of carbon dioxide and oxygen in atmosphere?
The balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is maintained in the atmosphere by the oxygen released by plant during photosynthesis and carbon dioxide released by human ,animal's etc in the atmosphere
How is nitrogen returned to the air?
Nitrogen is released back into the atmosphere during the nitrogen cycle. This part of the cycle is called nitrogen fixation.
When is carbon dioxide not released into the atmosphere?
Plants engaged in photosynthesis during sunshine do not release CO2 in the atmosphere because it is utilized in photosynthesis
What type of atmosphere does Mars have?
Mars has a very thin atmosphere that is made mostly of carbon dioxide. About 95% of Mars' atmosphere is made of CO2. There are only traces of the other gasses in its atmosphere like nitrogen and carbon monoxide.It's atmospheric pressure is 7-9 milibars, depending on the season. During winter some of the atmosphere freezes in the poles.
What gas does a plant take from the atmosphere during the carbon cycle?
carbon dioxide
What is added to the atmosphere during resiration?
Carbon dioxide
What are the helpful gases?
Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, and Carbon. All are needed to help an ecosystem and environment flourish. Oxygen is used by humans and animals to breath, Nitrogen is used by plants as a byproduct of human and animal feces, Hydrogen is present along with Oxygen and Nitrogen in the atmosphere and is a component of the gas we breath, lastly Carbon. Carbon is found in all living organisms (organic) and is used by plants to create food during photosynthesis.
During the carbon cycle in what form are carbon atoms generally returned to the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide gas.
Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?
carbon dioxideCarbon Dioxide
