- The carbon cycle removes carbon from the atmosphere, but only temporarily.
- Photosynthesis, when plants grow, is the only way to permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere. So we need to plant more forests.

Could a plant survive in an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium?
No, plants need oxygen and carbon dioxide to live.
Why could cutting down the rain forest possibly contribute to global warming?
If the trees are burned, the carbon dioxide released will raise airborne levels, and greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. But just cutting down the trees stops their process of REMOVING carbon dioxide from the air, which all green plants do.
What planets atmosphere is made of mostly carbon dioxide?
Mars and Venus, I guess you could call them our sisters gone wrong.
How can the carbon cycle be used to slow down global warming?
The carbon cycle is the natural way of moving carbon in and out of the atmosphere. The only way it could be used to slow down global warming would be if we planted billions of trees. Trees use photosynthesis to remove carbon dioxide from the air.
Composition of atmosphere for Mercury?
Mercury has no atmosphere to speak of. There are traces of sodium, oxygen, argon, helium, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water and hydrogen floating around' but it's pretty much hard vacuum down to the surface.
Which of these could cause the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to decrease?
Any of these is the answer:Vegetation growthThe planting of more treesAfforestationStopping deforestationEfficient carbon collection and storage plant (CCS)
How man contribute to the formation of the atmosphere?
Well I know that the atmosphere has carbon dioxide in it, and when we breath out we release carbon dioxide that could be then added to the atmosphere.
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 can you do as an airline to minimize ozone layer depletion?
As airline, you can decrease the amount of carbon dioxide. It could decrease the ozone depletion.
Could carbon dioxide in the atmosphere be considered an abiotic factor?
It is an abiotic factor as it is not alive.
The decrease of what substances in the atmosphere would likely have a positive effect in reducing global warming?
Reducing temperature increases could be accomplished by reducing the quantity of greenhouse gases In the atmospher , notably carbon dioxide (which is released by the combustion of fuels for energy).
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.
Could a plant survive in an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium?
No, plants need oxygen and carbon dioxide to live.
How could you test to see the seasonal variation of carbon in the atmosphere?
This is possible only by chemical analysis of atmospheric samples.
Why is it important for flowers to bloom?
so we could have oxygen and so that our carbon dioxide dont fill up the atmosphere
What is a negative impact of slash and burn farming?
the disadvantage is that they could die out
What planets atmosphere is made of mostly carbon dioxide?
Mars and Venus, I guess you could call them our sisters gone wrong.
