How does fossilized carbon get back into the atmosphere?
Fossilized carbon is coal. One major way it gets back into the atmosphere is by humans burning it in coal power plants. This is the human vector, however the geological method is that it is brought back in the gasses emitted by volcanoes.
What do the humans do to affect the Arctic tundra?
Well, one of the answers to that question is our pollution. The smoke and carbon dioxide that is released from things such as factories and cars rise up into the atmosphere and get trapped. Usually when the Sun's heat reaches the Earth it bounces back into space to keep the climate at a comfortable temperature, but with the carbon dioxide the Sun's heat gets into the atmosphere but can't get out, so the atmosphere keeps getting hotter and hotter which is melting the ice and snow in places such as the arctic tundra. This is known as the "greenhouse effect".
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
What happens to most of the sunlight that reaches Earth?
About 50% is absorbed by Earth's surface, about 25% is reflected by clouds, dust, and gases in the atmosphere, about 20% is absorbed by gases and particles in the atmosphere and about 5% is reflected by the surface back into the atmosphere. Also some absorbed energy is radiated back into the atmosphere.
What are three ways carbon is released back to the atmosphere?
The burning of woodThe burning of fossil fuelsRespiration

Water carbon and nitrogen are released back into the atmosphere during?
decomposition
This gas is carried back to the heart and then to the lungs where it is released back into the atmosphere?
CO2 - Carbon dioxide.
How do humans add nitrogen to the atmosphere?
by breathing co2 back into the air. Therfore magically making it nitrogen.
Who discovered insects?
Given that insects are older than humans, it is impossible to say who discovered them. Fossils of insects go back billions of years.
How could carbon atoms in the body of a dead tree get back into the atmosphere directly from the tree?
When a tree decomposes, all the carbon dioxide it absorbed is released back into the atmosphere driven by heterotrophic activities.
Where does an animals or plant carbon go when it dies?
The carbon is released back into the carbon pool in the atmosphere
What gas does the plant put back into the atmosphere and who uses the gas?
The plant put back oxygen into the atmosphere and the humans (us) use the oxygen to breathe Oxygen is used by all living things as well as playing a part in oxidization Fire corrosion etc
What was on of the earliest forms of life?
Stromatolites are one of the earliest known life forms; some fossils may date back 3.5 billion years - before Earth had any oxygen in it's atmosphere.
