How does growing more crops affect level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is decreased.
Is sun spot cycles or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more important for global warming?
Carbon dioxide. The increase of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.
How does the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect climate?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. If levels of it in the atmosphere are higher than normal, then they trap more heat. This is causing global warming, and the world warming is causing changes in climate.
What generalization can you make about the relationship of temperature to the amount of carbon dioxide in the air?
The more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the higher the temperature.
Where does the carbon in CO2 go Doesn't gravity and rain clean the CO2 from the atmosphere?
No. Carbon dioxide is thoroughly mixed into the atmosphere and cannot separate from the air simply though gravity. Some carbon dioxide does go into water to become locked away in carbonate minerals, but the primary way of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is through photosynthesis, a process by which plants and algae convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. Currently we are producing more carbon dioxide than the plants can absorb, resulting in an increase in the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What will happen if you have more carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. More of it in the earth's atmosphere means that more heat will be retained. This will, indeed is, causing global warming.
Does more heat mean more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The more carbon dioxide the hotter the planet gets. The hotter the planet gets the more wild fires happen. For every fire that occurs more carbon dioxide is released.
What would happen if there were more organisms that produced CO2 than O2?
There would be more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, so more heat would be captured in the atmosphere and global warming would increase.
Is there more nitrogen or carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere?
There is much more nitrogen in earth's atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen forms about 79%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
How does growing more crops affect level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is decreased.
How could cutting down trees lead to the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Because trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and if they cut them down we will have more carbon dioxide.
What is deforestation a result of?
More carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Which gas is about 60 times more plentiful in the ocean than in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide
Does the atmosphere store more carbon dioxide than the ocean?
No it does not
Is sun spot cycles or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more important for global warming?
Carbon dioxide. The increase of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.
Which processes in the carbon cycle decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Plants and trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also absorbs carbon dioxide, so much now that it is becoming more acidic.
How does carbon dioxide affect carbon cycle?
It allows more water to evaporate in the atmosphere.
