- The ocean removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle. This carbon recycles round and returns to the atmosphere again.
- Trees, forests and all growing vegetation remove CO2 from the atmosphere, release the oxygen, and store the carbon. If it is a long living tree, it can store that carbon for hundreds of years.

What are the two most important trace gases in the atmosphere?
the two of them are water vapor and carbon dioxide... my friends i hope that helped =)
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 are the two important causes of climate?
Deforestation, which releases stores carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas causing global warming and climate change. Deforestation also removes trees which can no longer take CO2 from the atmosphere.The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
What are the two natural elements found in water?
The two biggies are Oxygen and Hydrogen. Traces can also be found of air, nitrogen, CO2, CO, CH3 and other gases in the atmosphere.
The ozon layer has partitially been destoryed cooling. However there is a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere heating. Shouldn't we reach an equilibrium Is there a connection between the two effects?
well, the ozone layer being depleted does not cool off the atmosphere. Quite the opposite actually. The ozone layer protects the earth from harmful radiation from the sun. Radiation such as UV radiation that contributes to: sunburns, skin cancer, and heating of the atmosphere and ground. Carbon Dioxide CO2 does heat the atmosphere like you said due to it's greenhouse effect. This effect occurs when radiated heat from earth tries to escape into space, but is stopped and reflected back by a barrier of CO2 (similar to what happens in a greenhouse with the glass being like CO2). So your answer is NO. Those two effects cannot cancel each other out.
Has two moons and has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide?
The planet Mars is the only planet known with two moons and a predominantly CO2 atmosphere.
Which two processes keep the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere stable?
Respiration and photosynthesis
What are the two major gases affecting your atmosphere?
The two major gases affecting your atmosphere and effecting global warming and climate change are Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Methane (CH4).
The earths atmosphere is dominated by which two gases?
Nitrogen (N2) - 78% Oxygen (O2) - 21%
What are the two sources of energy that fuel on life?
sun and the atmosphere The sun and volcanic vents
What are two ways autotrphic bacteria eat food?
They are not taking C from others. They obtain CO2 from atmosphere mainly
What are the two most important trace gases in the atmosphere?

What are the two important greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)
What are two non-human activities by which carbon can enter the atmosphere as CO2 during the carbon cycle?
Volcanic eruption and animal respiration.
Is there a process that removes CO2 through acid rain?
There is no process of removing CO2 through acid rain. The two issues though are related in that coal burning plants generate the items needed to increase CO2 in our atmosphere and the gases that create acid rain.
What two major reservoirs of carbon dioxide on earth?
2 major "sinks" are the ocean and the forest. Forests take up CO2 by photosynthesis, though they also respire much of it back to the atmosphere. Similarly, oceans take up a lot of it but also outgas most of it.
Where is carbon in the atmosphere mostly found?
Carbon Dioxide at .033% The only other two sources in the atmosphere are methane and carbon dioxide both of which are much less abundant.
