Carbon dioxide in a sentence?
The carbon Dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere are rising.
Lightning is an electric discharge between a positively charged area and?
It is not a rising of air mass, It is caused by an unbalance in the atmosphere; which an eletric discharge is taking place.Lightning is an electric discharge between a positively charged area and a negatively charged area.a rising air mass
How does combustion affect the atmosphere?
that's wat i wnna no .... CO2 is made when we burn fossil fuels in cars in our homes and in power stations. The amount of cars and power stations however is rising. Also combustion can mean respiration in an organism, and so when all the living things on Earth respire they produce CO2. This means that CO2 levels are steadily rising. Hope that helps :) x
Why do metals not undergo microbial or chemical degradation in the soil?
Metals are not biodegradable because they are metals. The process of biodegradation effectively involves microorganisms eating the material. There are some plastics that are not directly biodegradable but degrade due to exposure to the UV radiation in sunlight (e.g. many garbage bags are made this way now so they will come apart in the landfill before being buried).Biodegradable materials are usually organic (i.e. they come from a plant or animal). And as such there is a whole host of organisms capable of reducing these materials and using them for their own purposes.Metals are basically composed mostly of a single element like iron, gold or aluminum, they cannot be broken down any further than they actually are.Though metals can be corroded by reactions with other compounds, for example iron rusting in the presence of water and oxygen and often produce salts that are used by animals, plants and other organisms, there are now few organisms (except in deep sea hydrothermal vents) capable of eating metals. On the early earth (about 3 billion years ago) before there was oxygen in the atmosphere there were many bacteria that could eat metals, sulfur, etc., but most of these were killed by the rising oxygen levels in the atmosphere.
Why carbon dioxide is so significant when considering global warming and climate change?
All the extra carbon dioxide that man is adding to the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is proving too much for the natural carbon cycle to deal with. (The carbon cycle moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere, helping to keep the earth warm enough for life.)We have also cut down billions of trees in the past 250 years that used to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, release the oxygen and store the carbon in their roots, trunks, branches and leaves, often for hundreds of years.All this means that the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are rising, up 40% from the start of the Industrial Revolution. This is causing global warming, which causes climate change.Because the planet requires plants and trees to absorb CO2 and put out oxygen into the atmosphere. They have a finite limit to their capability, so if we pump out more CO2 than they are capable of absorbing, there will be a buildup of surplus CO2 which is what is alleged to cause climate change.The answer is either to plant and grow more vegetation to absorb the CO2, or reduce the CO2 output.Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which means it lets heat in and it keeps most of it in.If too much carbon dioxide is emitted in the atmosphere, the heat energy from the sun will be strongly insulated with the carbon dioxide - causing the Earth's surface to become much warmer hence "global warming."The polluting carbon dioxide can make Earth's climates warmer.carbon dioxide in the atmosphere provides plants with carbon for photosynthesis. its also traps heat from the sun that would otherwise escape from Earth back into space. this important property,known as the GREENHOUSE EFFECT, keeps the world climate warm enough for all living organisms.
Describe two effects of oxygen levels in the atmosphere rising.?
creation of ozone layer
What are the effects of c02 levels rising?
Global warming
Carbon dioxide in a sentence?
The carbon Dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere are rising.
What were the two effects of rising oxygen levels in the atmosphere?
The Two Effects areA) The Gases from the volcanoes which carried water vapourB)The Water vapour then increased the amount of oxygen.A:1) Killing off early Anaerobic bacterial life 2) Allowed more complex organisms to evolve3) Created the ozone layer which blocks harmful radiation from the Sun
The temperature of the Earth is rising due to the increase of what?
Increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing global warming.
When did the water level start rising?
if an oak tree uses 50gallons (200ltrs) of water per day, how does the deforestation of saouth America and Burma, for teak wood affect the rising water table of the planet. All the water must still be on the planet, this was fresh water, now transmitted to the atmosphere. This may raise the water table and cause salination. Is that feasible
What possible social effects on Bangladesh could come from rising sea levels?
The people of Bangladesh may have to come into India.
Does the air have more or less carbon dioxide in it?
CO2 levels in the atmosphere have been rising since the start of the Industrial Revolution. i t depends. Note that the CO2 levels of Earth's atmosphere have varied considerably over the course of its existence. For example: CO2 levels during the Cretaceous period are estimated to have been about 6 times what they are right now.
Is the greenhouse effect increasing sea levels?
The natural greenhouse effect is not raising sea levels, but the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming, is. The warmer atmosphere is melting glaciers and expanding the water in the oceans, so sea levels are rising.
How do rising levels of carbon monoxide affect your brain?
when carbon monoxide is taken in, it replaces the oxygen in the blood. this deprives cells and tissues of oxygen. It increases risk of high blood pressure and heart disease
When carbon dioxide levels increase in the atmosphere what happens to global temperatures?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
How do forests affect the temperature?
Forests (and all vegetation) remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This reduces the effects of the enhanced greenhouse effect, slowing the rising temperatures of global warming.
