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.
What was the ancient earth's atmosphere?
In ancient Earth, the atmosphere was primarily composed of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and small amounts of methane and ammonia. There was little to no oxygen present until photosynthetic organisms evolved and started producing it as a byproduct. This oxygen eventually accumulated in the atmosphere, leading to the development of aerobic organisms.
What are 3 characteristics that allow Earth to have life?
1. Liquid water. 2. Temperatures that aren't too extreme. 3. An atmosphere with oxygen, carbon dioxide and other useful gases.
Will there be oxygen in space if you plant a tree there?
Interesting question. The Oxygen must come from somewhere. On Earth a plant gets oxygen from 2 sources. Water and/or the atmosphere. It does not just make it up, simply transforms it from one form to another. A plant takes in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and releases the Oxygen (O2) into the atmosphere. If there were some form of atmosphere/light/water to sustain the plants life then they will automatically produce a more oxygen rich atmosphere. As for the moon: It doesn't really have enough gravitational pull to sustain an atmosphere like that. Maybe Mars where the Atmosphere is 95% Carbon Dioxide and quite possibly large frozen lakes of ice.
What element is 78 percent of your atmosphere?
Nitrogen. 20% is made up of oxygen The remaining ~2% is made up of water vapout, carbon dioxide, noble gases, methane, sulphur dioxide, & ammonia.
How does the earth temperature drops?
1) oceans absorb carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere, thereby bringing down the temperature 2) oceans emit heat from the sunlight they absorb and increase the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere.
What gas in the atmosphere is increasing?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is increasing in the atmosphere due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This increase in CO2 is a major contributor to global warming and climate change.
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.
Summarize the carbon cycle starting and ending with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.?
The carbon cycle is a process where carbon is removed and returned to the atmosphere. The ways of returning carbon to the atmosphere are- 1. Respiration 2. Decomposition 3. Combustion Ways of removing carbon- Photosynthesis. The CO2 in the air is taken in by green plants for photosynthesis. The green plants die eventually and is decomposed; decomposition return carbon to the atmosphere. Animals respire and return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Decomposers respire as well. Green plants can be used to make fuels, which combust to return carbon dioxide to the air.
What elements make up Venus' atmosphere?
carbon dioxide and nitrogen are 2.
What are the argon carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen and oxygen contents of Mars' atmosphere?
According to NASA, the atmosphere of Mars is about 95-96% Carbon Dioxide, 2-3% Nitrogen, 1-2% Argon, and 0.1-0.2% Oxygen, 0.01-0.02% Carbon Monoxide with the "Other gases" making up less than 1% of the atmosphere.
What is the resource type for an atmosphere?
1) carbon dioxide 2) nitrogen 3) oxygen
What are 2 molecules found in the earth's atmosphere?
oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
How much Argon and nitrogen is there in the martian atmosphere?
the Martian atmosphere is made up of 95% Carbon Dioxide, 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon, and 0.4% oxygen.
What are 2 things that can increase a population?
Immigration and births
What are 2 things that you breathe out?
Carbon dioxide and water vapor are two things that you exhale when breathing.
How does boiling a kettle increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The boiling water itself does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is just water vapor, which is itself a greenhouse gas, but is not carbon dioxide. However, in order to boil the water, you need heat. This heat can be generated by 1) burning wood, 2) burning natural gas, or 3) using electricity. Burning wood or natural gas releases carbon dioxide. Using electricity does not release carbon dioxide, but generating electricity usually does. Most electricity in generated by burning coal, which releases carbon dioxide. Only if the electricity is generated by nuclear, hydro-electric, wind or solar power will there be no carbon dioxide released.
