What are two non-human activities by which carbon can enter the atmosphere as CO2 during the carbon cycle?
Volcanic eruption and animal respiration.
How could human activities be responsible for the change in temperature between 1970 and 1995?
Yes. We know that greenhouse gases absorb heat. We know that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas. We know that burning fossil fuels releases CO2 that has been hidden away for millions of years. We know that this raises levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. That is how human activities are responsible for the rise in temperatures between 1970 and 1995.
What activities of man results acidification of oceans?
The most prominant artificial cause of the acidification of the oceans is the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This causes the oceans to absorb the CO2, thereby increasing their acidity
Why do CO2 levels increase over time?
The Carbon/CO2 on earth is part of a natural cycle which balances the CO2 in the atmosphere with the carbon locked in the rocks as limestones, and hydrocarbons. In general over the totality of geologic time the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has fallen as a result of biological processes. In recent times human activity has been responsible for releasing a large quantity of fossil Carbon (oil, gas and coal) as CO2 into the atmosphere. While much of this has been buffered by the CO2 dissolving in the oceans, there has also been a marked increase in CO2 % in the atmosphere since the industrial revolution.
What is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 desolves easily in it?
The ocean is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 dissolves easily in it.
Why are levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases rising?
One argument is because of the human activities: -By burning fossil fuels, emitting CO2 into the atmosphere. -By other human activities that releases gases such as Methane CO into the atmosphere Another is by deforestation which destroys the amount of trees that is there to consume the CO2 emitted.
What is happening to Earth's carbon dioxide?
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasingly drastically, attributed primarily to human activities.

What are two non-human activities by which carbon can enter the atmosphere as CO2 during the carbon cycle?
Volcanic eruption and animal respiration.
How has the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere changed over the past few years?
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has been increasing steadily over the past few years. This increase is primarily due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. The rising levels of CO2 contribute to global warming and climate change.
What are two non human activities by which carbon can enter the atmosphere as CO2 during the carbon cycle?
Dead trees rotting in the forest.Carbon dioxide escaping from volcanoes.
How could human activities be responsible for the change in temperature between 1970 and 1995?
Yes. We know that greenhouse gases absorb heat. We know that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas. We know that burning fossil fuels releases CO2 that has been hidden away for millions of years. We know that this raises levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. That is how human activities are responsible for the rise in temperatures between 1970 and 1995.
What specific human activities have lead to atmospheric CO2 levels increase?
Humans are polluting the planet mostly by doing activities that lead to atmospheric CO2 levels increase. The electrical devices like oven, microwave, machines used for warming ourselves do this but cars are the most dangerous because they relase the most CO2.
Explain the carbon cycle with the help of a diagram In what way human activities have altered the balance of carbon cycle?
1.carbon is present in the form of co2 in the atmosphere. 2.It is used by green plants in the form of photosynthesis. 3.co2 is returned back to the atmosphere by the respiration of both plants and animals. 4.Death and decomposition of plants and animals also release co2 in the atmosphere. 5.Burning of fossil fuels,volcanic eruptions and action of acid rains of carbonate rocks all release co2 in the atmosphere. 6.Thus this is the exchange of the carbon in the atmosphere and nature.
What greenhouse gas produced by humans activities has dramatically increased in earths atmosphere?
CO2; Carbon Dioxide
Is CO2 the most abundant gas in the atmosphere?
No Nitrogen is
What the from of carbon in the atmosphere?
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.
