What planet has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Venus has the thickest carbon dioxide atmosphere.
Terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Mars is the terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere. Venus also has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, but it is very thick.
Carbon in the atmosphere is most often found as which of the following compounds?
List the compounds so I can answer your question. I would imagine Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide would be the first 2.
How would a planet have an all carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Such an atmosphere on a planet would be the result of carbon dioxide emitted from volcanoes.
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.
Carbon is stored in the atmosphere in the form of what molecule?
You think probable to carbon dioxide.
How is carbon is stored in the biosphere?
In the atmosphere carbon is stored as CO2, methane (CH4), and other organic compounds. in other word, the carbon is stored in a gigatonnes.
How is carbon moved from the atmosphere?
Carbon is not 'moved' from the atmosphere. It can be absorbed and stored by things like plants and animals, but when they die and decay the carbon will go back into the carbon cycle again. Try googling 'carbon cycle'
Where is Mars CO2 stored?
The atmosphere of Mars contain 95,32 % carbon dioxide. In the polar zones carbon dioxide is as dry ice.
Does burning coal release carbon in the atmosphere?
Yes, when coal is burnt it releases all the carbon that has been stored in it for millions of years. This carbon into the atmosphere is a powerful greenhouse gas that is causing the recent global warming of the earth.
Why is removing stored carbon from fossil fuels a problem?
It is a problem because the carbon has been stored for 300 million years. Adding it to the atmosphere now is too much for the carbon cycle to manage, so levels build up causing global warming.
Forests are considered carbon storage sinks because?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is removed from the atmosphere (absorbed by trees), and the carbon is stored as sugar molecules. A forest is trees in abundance; and carbon is significant for energy, is significant to life.
Does respiration decrease or increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Respiration (breathing) has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We take in carbon in our food and drink and we release it again when we breathe. If we eat too much, the extra carbon is stored in our bodies, making us fatter, in much the same way as a tree stores carbon in its wood as it grows.So breathing does not increase or decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What is stored in carbon bonds?
Glucose is stored in carbon bonds.
Where is most of the carbon on earth stored?
carbon is most abundant in all earths bodies of water (approx 36,000 gigatonnes) compared with the biosphere (1,900 gigatonnes), hydrocarbons (1050 gigatonnes) and the atmosphere (810 gigatonnes), plus other smaller sources but generally water contains the most carbon.
How do plants help prevent global warming?
Plants and any growing vegetation remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. This carbon is stored in the plants and trees. Any removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere slows global warming a little.
How is water stored in the atmosphere?
Water is stored in the atmosphere in the form of water vapor.
