What is the nature way that large amounts of carbon dioxide are added to the Eart's atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide goes through cycles of being dissolved in the oceans, until it reaches a supersaturated concentration. At that point, the oceans release it back into the atmosphere until a supersaturated concentration is produced, and the process starts over.

What is the role of the atmosphere in the carbon cycle?
Nature produces the vast bulk of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Rotting trees, and dead matter produce over 90% of the current levels of carbon dioxide. Man produces between 3 and 6 percent of all CO2 annually.
How does carbondioxide get into the atmosphere?
Naturally, and by industrial byproducts. Nature produces 94% of the annual carbon dioxide and man produces about 6%.
What is the nature of CO2?
CO2, or carbon dioxide, is gaseous in nature.
How does the oxygen in the atmosphere get replenished?
Oxygen is replenished or released in nature when green plants make the use of Carbon Dioxide to perform photosynthesis
Where do plant get the carbon dioxide they need to live?
Nature's air contains carbon dioxide and deep soil.
How does the carbon cycle keep the amount of carbon dioxide constant in the atmosphere?
In pre-industrial times, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2)that animals breathe out was matched by the amount absorbed by plants, so that the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide remained remarkably stable in the range of 260 to 280 parts per million (ppm) over a very long period. Adding additional carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuels, overwhelms the carbon cycle and causes the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide to rise beyond this range. Deforestation can break the carbon cycle, first by removing a store of carbon which will be released as additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and in some cases by reducing the ability of nature to absorb carbon dioxide from the air.
What is the importance of carbon dioxide in dissolve water?
- Drinks with carbon dioxide solved in water: natural mineral carbonated water or artificial carbonated water, soda; also nonalcoholic carbonated drinks, champagne, etc. - In the nature: oceans and generally all the waters retain partially the carbon dioxide of androgenic origin from the atmosphere.
Where does most of the carbon dioxide released by human activities come from?
Most of the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere comes from nature. Specifically, it comes from rotting material. A tree that is rotting in the forest produces the same amount of CO2 as a tree being burnt.
Is there any metal or gas which absorbs carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas?
Mother nature has a way of absorbing carbon dioxide. It's called rain. Rain water combines with carbon dioxide to make carbolic acid. The carbolic acid falls to the earth and combines with rock and dirt to make a soft rock. People down wind of large smokestacks have a problem with the acid rain. Too much acid rain will kill trees. Planet earth does not get enough rain to remove the increasing amounts of carbon dioxide we are putting into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide we are making adds to the problem of global warming. 　 I have wondered if putting water sprayers into our smokestacks will remove the carbon dioxide making acid water. That acid water can be mixed with soil to make soft rock. The soft rock can be used for landfill. Perhaps we can remove carbon dioxide in our smokestacks before it gets into our atmosphere in this way?
Why does carbon dioxide change colors of indicator?
Carbon dioxide is acidic in nature. With water, it partially forms carbonic acid.
Is carbon dioxide a feature of the earth?
Carbon Dioxide can be released into the atmosphere naturally along with other gases during volcanic eruptions and through geological 'vents' in the Earth's surface. It is also given off by all animals (including humans) when they exhale. Trees and plants ABSORB carbon Dioxide and give off oxygen in return. Man produces about 3 to 6% of all carbon dioxide. Nature contributes the rest.
How is the balance of nature is maintained?
We breath oxygen and give out carbon dioxide, in the same way, plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen.Thus the balance of gases is maintained in nature.
