How does the increase in carbon dioxide emissions affect the earths natural cycle of temperature cycle?

It raises the temperature and makes it hotter through the greenhouse effect.


Phytoplankton play an important role in the carbon cycle because?

Phytoplankton helps to balance carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere while the ocean absorbs it. If there were no phytoplankton left, then carbon dioxide levels would increase in the atmosphere.


How does the carbon cycle affect the ozone layer?

Carbon cycle has an effect on ozone layer. Carbon emissions cause greenhouse effect which causes ozone depletion.


Which natural cycle does the use of fertilizers increase?

because of its carbon cycle


Phytoplankton are part of which biogeochemical cycle?

Oxygen cycle


How can mad cow disease effect the carbon cycle?

It doesn't.


How does the greenhouse effect increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

The greenhouse effect does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect happens because of the carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) in the atmosphere.It is the burning of fossil fuels that increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Burning coal, oil and natural gas releases age-old carbon dioxide that was laid down underground millions of years ago, so letting it free now puts an impossible burden on the carbon cycle, which cannot remove it.


What does the greenhouse effect have to do with the Carbon cycle and the Oxygen cycle?

Co2 is a greenhouse gas. It cause for global warming.


Phytoplankton are a part of which biogeochemical cycle?

oxygen


Phytoplankton are a part of which biochemical cycle?

Photosynthesis.


How does Phytoplankton help us?

phytpplakton gives us oxygen for us to breath.


How is human interference in the carbon cycle causing an increase in global temperatures?

The carbon cycle moves carbon dioxide (CO2) in and out of the atmosphere. It has been doing this for millions of years and this, together with the greenhouse effect, has kept the earth warm enough for life all that time.Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon that was stored underground 300 million years ago, during the Permian Period.Releasing it now, as we do, adds CO2 that is extra, and more then the natural carbon cycle can manage to remove from the atmosphere. This is how we are interfering in the carbon cycle. This is what is causing global warming.
