∙ 11y ago- By burning fossil fuels (mainly oil, natural gas and coal)(5%)
- via the so called Carbon Cycle (oceans and vegetation emit carbon dioxide yet also capture it again (94%)
- volcanoes (though their annual emissions are much smaller than those of fossil fuels)(less then 1%)

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.
Why does carbon dioxide act as a buffer in seawater?
The oceans play an important role in regulating the amount of CO 2 in the atmosphere because CO 2 can move quickly into and out of the oceans. Once in the oceans, the CO 2 no longer traps heat. CO 2 also moves quickly between the atmosphere and the land biosphere (material that is or was living on land).Of the three places where carbon is stored---atmosphere, oceans, and land biosphere---approximately 93 percent of the CO 2 is found in the oceans. The atmosphere, at about 750 petagrams of carbon (a petagram [Pg] is 10 15 grams), has the smallest amount of carbon
What are 2 ways the earths atmosphere get heated?
by the sun, and global warming
Think about a carbon atom that is released into the atmosphere from burning wood in a campfire If it were to go through the whole carbon cycle number the steps that would follow?
1 A tree absorbs the carbon from the atmosphere into its leaves for photosynthesis 5 The bird decomposes and the carbon returns to the atmosphere 4 The bird flies into a building and dies instantly. It falls to the ground 2 A caterpillar gets the carbon by eating the tree' s leaves 3 A bird gets the carbon by eating the caterpillar
What is half the size of earth has two moons and has a atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide?
The planet that is half the size of the earth, has 2 moons, and has an atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide is Mars. The average length of a day on Mars is 37 minutes longer than that of the Earth.

describe atleast 2 ways that carbon can get from seashells to the atmosphere?
first crashing of tectonic plates second that's up to you
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 gas in the atmosphere is increasing?
Carbon Dioxide or CO sub 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 elements make up Venus' atmosphere?
carbon dioxide and nitrogen are 2.
What are 2 molecules found in the earth's atmosphere?
oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
What is the resource type for an atmosphere?
1) carbon dioxide 2) nitrogen 3) oxygen

What is a weakness to carbon?
Carbon dioxide can react with low oxygen atmosphere to produce carbon monoxide which is a highly poisonous gas.Too much Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere caused global warming.
What are 2 ways the earths atmosphere get heated?

What are 2 advantages of complete combustion?
Releases Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere rather than toxic gases.
