What do mars and Venus have in common?
One thing is that both have carbon dioxide as about 95% of their atmospheres. However Mars has a very thin atmosphere and Venus has a very thick atmosphere
How does the burning of fossil fuels impact the carbon cycle?
Power plants burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) add to global warming. Global warming puts more heat (energy) into the atmosphere. This will probably mean a wetter atmosphere and increased precipitation.
Why is a high concentration of carbon dioxide a bad thing?
Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is not physically dangerous for people. It's perfectly safe to breathe, even if the amount in the atmosphere doubled. What is dangerous is that it's causing global warming and climate change. If that continues it will be really dangerous for everyone.
How does carbon dioxide benefit life?
carbon dioxide help to extinguish fires..if something caught a fire,we would use a fire extinguisher which contains carbon dioxide and obviously we would keep oxygen away from the burning thing..
What process adds carbon from the atmosphere?
makes ur thing smaller
How does carbon get from living thing and into the atmosphere?
They release carbon dioxide when they exhale
How can global warming remove carbon from the atmosphere?
It can't. Global warming is caused by the increasing amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and there is no way the extra heat will remove this CO2. The only thing that removes carbon permanently from the air is photosynthesis in forests, trees and other vegetation.
How does the amount of trees being cut down every year affect our carbon footprint?
Carbon footprint is usually used to refer to a single person (me), or a thing (this apple), or a family or household. It means the amount of carbon dioxide (or equivalent) released into the atmosphere by the activities, or existence of a peron, thing, or group.However, the amount of trees cut down every year affects the carbon footprint of the whole world. Trees (and all growing vegetation) remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The oxygen is released and the carbon is stored in the wood of the trees.So when we cut down a tree we increaseour carbon footprint.
Are carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide the same thing?
No. Carbon dioxide is very different from sulfur dioxide.
What decreases carbon doxide in the environment?
The only thing that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment permanently is photosynthesis from growing vegetation. Trees remove CO2 and store it in their trunks, branches and leaves.
What do mars and Venus have in common?
One thing is that both have carbon dioxide as about 95% of their atmospheres. However Mars has a very thin atmosphere and Venus has a very thick atmosphere
Why do plants go through cellular respiration and how do they balance the carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere by doing so?
A plant is a living thing so there for it needs to breathe. When plants breathe they breathe the opposite of us in with carbon dioxide out with oxogyn

Why is carbin dioxide a bad thing to make?
Carbon dioxide is not necessarily a "bad" thing to make but when released into the atmosphere in excess of the biosphere's ability to "sink" it, is thought to contribute to global warming because it is a rather potent greenhouse gas.
Is carbon dioxide a good thing or a bad thing?
Well, carbon dioxide is both good and bad. Carbon dioxide for humans is bad because to much of it for us can be fatal and lead to suffocation. But, it is good for plants.
Do you want afforestion?
Yes, afforestation (planting more trees) is the only way we know that humans can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (through photosynthesis). As carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas causing global warming, then afforestation can only be a good thing.
How can deforestation intensify the greenhouse effect?
Trees store carbon dioxide. When they get cut down they realease this gas. It contributes to greenhouse gases. now that there is so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere they are letting it offeven if they are not cut down. also scientists have found that over rainforests that clouds are forming higher letting little rain reaching rainforests drying them up. soon they will all be gone! The answer above is very, very wrong. Yes, trees store carbon dioxide. However, when they are cut, this carbon dioxide is not released. On the contrary, it is permanently [b]sequestered[/b] in the wood and wood products made from that tree. (Next time, do some research before you delete information provided by someone who knows what he is talking about.) On the other hand, if we didn't cut them down, then they would eventually die. And when the die, they will rot. And When they rot, they will release that carbon dioxide. Moreover, once they are cut, if the acreage is replanted with seedlings, those seedlings will grow much faster, and store more carbon dioxide per year, than the older trees that were cut down. The one thing that should be avoided, however, is burning trees. Like rotting, this releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, only very suddenly, rather than gradually as with rotting.
