Carbon Dioxide (CO2) can rapidly increase in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal natural gas or oil. This increased CO2 in the air is more than trees and green plants can process in making Oxygen (O2), especially since world markets have engaged in deforestation and clearing of naturally occurring plants. Increased CO2 traps warmer air in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.

Are there green creatures from the moon?
As far as scientists know, no. And because the gravity on the moon is too small to support an atmosphere, and the temperatures fluctuate too rapidly and extremely it is highly unlikely that life could exist.
Why can't we predict tornado paths?
We can, to a limited degree. Tornadoes develop rapidly from relatively small-scale weather systems and are sensitive to small changes in the atmosphere that are difficult to detect. This makes them hard to predict.
Why surface of moon is very hot during day and very cold at night?
The moon has no atmosphere. During the day, the sun beats down on it mercilessly - not "tamed" or "softened" by a layer of atmosphere. During the lunar night, the heat rapidly escapes into space, plunging the lunar surface several hundred degrees below zero. The moon's weather would be earth's weather too - except for our atmosphere.
How high above the earth does an orbit have to be?
Orbit can't be maintained in atmosphere. Some temporary low orbits are possible at lower heights. About the lowest possible orbit around the earth is 80 km high, but it will decay rapidly because it is still in the earth's atmosphere (the thermosphere). Even where the atmosphere is extremely thin (only a few molecules of gas in a cubic meter), the friction will eventually slow the orbit of a satellite or vehicle, and it will fall to earth.
What are space objects that burn as they enter Earth's atmosphere called?
Its called friction. When the rock enters the atmosphere it can be travelling at thousands of miles and hour. In space there is nothing to slow it down, when it comes to the Earths atmosphere there is resistance as the air tries to slow it down, this creates heat and the tempretures can reach thousands of degrees, rock melts at about 1200ºC.
Burning fossil fuels such as - can rapidly increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Oil,Coal,Natural gas,Petroleum,Diesel,Aviation fuel.
The burning of fossil fuels such as coal natural gas or oil can rapidly increase the amount of what?
it could rapidly increase the carbon dioxide and pollution. hpe this helps ;-))
What is rapidly increased in the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal natural gas or oil?
Levels of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
What would lead to an increase in the increase in the inflation rate?
Rapidly rising production costs
What causes atmospheric air to be rapidly heated?
In the atmosphere, warm surfaces can heat the air above them. High pressure in the atmosphere is what causes the air to rapidly heat.
What keeps temperature of the surfaces from changing rapidly?
The atmosphere.
Keeps the temperature of the surface from changing rapidly?
The atmosphere.
Has the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased or decreased?
Levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere have increased rapidly since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Scientists agree that this is largely caused by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
What is another word for rapidly increase?
Precipitate.
Causes atmospheric air to be rapidly heated?
There are a few causes that lead to atmospheric air to be rapidly heated. Having a fire burning will lead to rapidly heated atmospheric air.
Hyperinflation?
Where prices increase very rapidly and out of control
Why would a grasshopper population increase rapidly?
