What are the two ways in which carbon dioxide is added to the?
Respiration by animals is one of the ways through which carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere. The other way is through burning fuels that are carbon-based.

What process releases carbon into the atmosphere from fossil fuels?
Combustion. Fossil fuels contain carbon, hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other elements. But the largest is Carbon. So when such fuels burn they combine with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in air to form Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides etc. Any form of carbon when burns produces carbon dioxide.
What other humans activity is loading the carbon cycle?
the burning of fossil fuels
Why is the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air so low when so much is given off through burning fossil fuels?
Don't concentrate on how carbon dioxide competes with other gases such as Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon in the total percentages but rather the change in the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air over time. It is generally agreed that carbon dioxide levels are higher now than ever before due to fossil fuels.
How does carbon and nitrogen affect the atmosphere?
Carbon affects the atmosphere when humans burn fossil fuels into the air and other chemicals
How many carbon dioxide emitted by cars per 1 meter?
There is a lot of difference between CO2 emissions from different cars. It will also depend on the type of fuel used : petrol (gasoline), diesel or other carbon based fuels.
What does carbon and fossil fuels give off?
Yes. fossil fuels differ from other fuels in that, when we burn them we are burning carbon that has been sequestered from the atmosphere for millions of years. This adds 'new' carbon dioxide that increases the total atmospheric level of greenhouse gases.
What other human activity is over loading the carbon cycle?
the burning of fossil fuels
Does carbon monoxide come from burning petrol?
Yes, carbon monoxide is formed to some degree by burning petrol and other hydrocarbon fuels.
What is the process where fossil fuels forests or other carbon-containing substances are burned adding more carbon dioxide to the air?
cordreon system
How does the carbon in fossil fuels get into the atmosphere?
The carbon in fossil fuels is released by burning. This combustion emits carbon dioxide, water and some other pollutants depending on how complete the combustion was. This carbon dioxide, which is slightly heavier than air, become mixed all through the atmosphere by the action of the winds.
