People return carbon stored in fossil fuels to the carbon-oxygen cycle by burning what?
People return carbon stored in fossil fuels to the carbon-oxygen cycle by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. This combustion process releases carbon dioxide (CO2) back into the atmosphere, where it can be taken up by plants through photosynthesis.
Is carbon dioxide breathed in by people and released as oxygen?
No, it is the other way round, people breath in Oxygen (O2) and breath out Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
How are people adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere's?
People are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. I believe
When you burn fuels in power stations what chemical is released?
It really depends on what the people are burning it can range from oxygen to carbon monoxide
What are the ways carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere?
When you breathe in, you breathe in oxygen, but when you breathe out, you're breathing out carbon dioxide. Animal life uses oxygen in respiration, necessary for survival. Carbon Dioxide is released as a by-product. When a tree is burnt or rots it releases its CO2. When we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), for energy or transport we add carbon dioxide to the air.
What do people breathe into the air?
People ( Humans) exhale nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases. The nitrogen and other gases remain unreacted. from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the result of breathing in (inhaling) oxygen travelling around the body in the blood stream, being used at the muscles etc., thereby being converted to carbon dioxide, which is carried in the blood stream to be exhaled. The carbon dioxide, being a heavy gas, falls to earth, is breathed in by green plant life, undergoes photosynthesis, and oxygen is released. The carbon compoent remains in the plant as biomass. The two gases , oxygen and carbon dioxide, are part of the oxygen/carbon cycle.
How do you reduce people carbon footprint?
A method is to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
When people burn fossils fuels do they send oxygen into the air?
No, burning fossil fuel takes free oxygen from the air. The fuel contains carbon and hydrogen, and the burning process unites carbon with oxygen, and also hydrogen with oxygen. Both these chemical process produce a lot of heat, which is used to drive a heat-engine, which can be a gasoline or diesel engine or a steam turbine or a gas turbine.The formation of these chemical bonds generates CO2 and H2O, also known as carbon dioxide and water, which are the major products of burning fossil fuel. In round numbers, burning 1 kg of fuel takes 3.5 kg of oxyen from the air, and generates 3.1 kg of CO2 plus 1.4 kg of water; and about 50 MJ of heat energy is generated.In the average car engine, about 25% of the heat energy produced is converted into mechanical energy to drive the car.
What does fossil fuel transform to?
stupid people would ask these questions . why would i know
Why people need plants to change CO2 to oxygen?
Plants undergo photosynthesis, a process where they convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into oxygen through a series of chemical reactions. This oxygen is then released into the atmosphere for us to breathe. Therefore, plants play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is essential for sustaining life on Earth.
What gas do people breathee in and what do they breathe out?
People breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Oxygen is necessary for cellular respiration and provides energy to the body, while carbon dioxide is a waste product of this process that is expelled from the body.
What creates oxygen?
Plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide from people and release oxygen for people to breathe and live.
