Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water vapor.
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water vapor.
Water vapor is released back into the atmosphere through the process of evaporation. Carbon is released back into the atmosphere through the process of respiration and combustion. Nitrogen is released back into the atmosphere through the process of nitrogen fixation by bacteria.
Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere through processes such as respiration, decomposition, and combustion. During respiration, organisms release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Decomposition of dead organisms also releases carbon dioxide. Combustion of fossil fuels by humans is another significant way carbon is released into the atmosphere.
The product of a fire is mainly thermal energy, in the form of heat and light. This thermal energy is released through the combustion of materials during the burning process.
CO2 is released from vehicles through the combustion of gasoline or diesel in the engine. During this process, carbon in the fuel combines with oxygen from the air to produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct, which is then emitted through the vehicle's exhaust system into the atmosphere.
Plants produce an excess of oxygen which is released into the atmosphere. This is a product of photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide goes back to the atmosphere through respiration, the decomposition of plants and animals, and combustion.
Carbon gets back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through the combustion of fossil fuels, and the cellular respiration of living things.
The carbon in fossil fuels is released into the atmosphere through the combustion of these fuels, such as burning coal, oil, or natural gas for energy production. This process releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
Methane is released into the atmosphere through natural processes like wetlands, as well as human activities such as agriculture (livestock digestion and manure management) and fossil fuel extraction and combustion. Methane is also emitted during the decomposition of organic waste in landfills and wastewater treatment.
Oxygen is released out of the plant through stomata as a product of photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide can be found in the environment in the Earth's atmosphere, where it is a natural component of the air we breathe. It is also released through processes like respiration, combustion, and volcanic activity.
