What are non human activities by which carbon can enter the atmosphere as CO2 during the carbon cycle?
i still love you chrishon </3
At what point does human activity affect the natural cabon cycle?
Human Activities affect the carbon cycle at a huge rate. Release of toxins and other waste might alter the cycle.
What are some human activities that is altering the carbon cycle?
More generation of radiocarbon through detonation of nuclear weaponry-->circulation in the atmosphere of radioactive neutrons, which react with atmospheric 14-nitrogen to form 14-carbon.
What are two non human activities by which carbon can enter the atmosphere as CO2 during the carbon cycle?
Dead trees rotting in the forest.Carbon dioxide escaping from volcanoes.
What is carbon footprinting?
A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terns of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide.
Which human activity would have the most direct impact on the carbon cycle?
There are a few human activities that would have a direct impact on the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle. Planting trees and other plants is one of these activities.
What human activities have thrown off the carbon cycle?
eating your own meat

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 human activities affect the carbon cycle positively and negatively?
The carbon cycle is the natural movement of carbon throughout the biosphere. There is no positive way that human activity affects it.Negative effects of human activity on the carbon cycle:Deforestation and combustion of fossil fuels are overloading the carbon cycle. By cutting down the forests we no longer have trees to remove the carbon from the atmosphere. By burning coal, oil and natural gas we are releasing age-old carbon from millions of years ago into the atmosphere.

A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terns of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide.
Which bio-geochemical cycle is least affected by human activities?
The oxygen cycle is least affected by human activities.
How do human activities affect groundwater and surface water in a watershed?
The earth's water supply stays the same but humans can alter the cycle. As population increases, and living standards rise this can increase the demand for water. This can create an imbalance and change the quality and quantity of the water. Humans impact the water cycle by polluting the water in rivers, streams, reservoirs etc. So they can impact it less by reducing trash that goes into storm drains.We are polluting it with harmful chemicals and disgusting substances. Technically we as humans cannot alter the water cycle, however, we can mess it up by dumping waste into the ocean.A:When we talk about the water cycle moving water vapor in and out of the atmosphere, there are no human activities that can affect that. Water vapor will still evaporate into the atmosphere whether the ground water is dirty or clean.
How do human activities affect a nutrient cycle?
Human activities effect a nutrient cycle by increasing the amounts of nutrients in the cycle faster then natural biotic and abiotic processes can move them back to the stores.
