What happened to the carbon cycle as humans cut down rain forests?
Since there were less trees using carbon dioxide and converting it to oxygen, more carbon dioxide was released into the atmosphere.
Is there any metal or gas which absorbs carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas?
Mother nature has a way of absorbing carbon dioxide. It's called rain. Rain water combines with carbon dioxide to make carbolic acid. The carbolic acid falls to the earth and combines with rock and dirt to make a soft rock. People down wind of large smokestacks have a problem with the acid rain. Too much acid rain will kill trees. Planet earth does not get enough rain to remove the increasing amounts of carbon dioxide we are putting into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide we are making adds to the problem of global warming. 　 I have wondered if putting water sprayers into our smokestacks will remove the carbon dioxide making acid water. That acid water can be mixed with soil to make soft rock. The soft rock can be used for landfill. Perhaps we can remove carbon dioxide in our smokestacks before it gets into our atmosphere in this way?
Why carbon monoxide do not make acid rain?
No. Even when CO dissolves in rain, it does not form any acid.
Do less trees mean more carbon dioxide?
The source of most of the moisture and water vapour that constitutes the clouds that bring rain (in continental regions) is the water vapour transpired by plants. Forests act as large transpiration zones and contribute greatly to the atmospheric moisture. In their absence, the water of the soil just seeps down or flows away and thus they cannot contribute to rain.
Does carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide cause any problems?
Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) contributes to global warming and climate change. Sulphur dioxide, another by-product of burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), causes acid rain.
Carbon Dioxide Would Increase In The Environment If?
Carbon Dioxide would increase in the environment if the rain forests are demolished.
How are forests are useful to us?
forests absorb carbon dioxide that causes global warming forests keep soil from erosion forests trap rain

What happened to the carbon cycle as humans cut down rain forests?
Since there were less trees using carbon dioxide and converting it to oxygen, more carbon dioxide was released into the atmosphere.
What substance is absorbed in large quantities by rain forests?
Carbon Dioxide is absorbed in large quantities by rainforests. Rainforests consist primarily of trees, which absorb carbon dioxide for food.
Does rain absorb carbon dioxide?
yes it does as the rain takes in the carbon dioxide
Name of acid formed when sulfur oxides mixes with rainwater?
I think it is Nitrogen Oxide. The nitrous oxide condenses with the rain to give the nitric acid, sulfur dioxide condenses with the rain to give sulfuric acid, carbon dioxide combines with the rain to give carbonic acid . These three acids constitute the acid rain.
If humans continue to destroy rain forests what mite happen to the balance between carbon dioxide?
the carbon levels increase dramatically and oxygen levels will go down
Is carbon dioxide in rain water?
All rain and surface water absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
If the rain Forrest is destroyed will you all die?
It is possible because the rain forest like all forests provides much need oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from the air thruogh photosynthesis without the rain forests we would have less oxygen and more carbon dioxide. this will also cause a more dramatic greenhouse gas amount and the planet will warm up hope this helps
What do trees in rain forests absorb and help our air quality?
Because the trees take in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen
Why should people in North America be concerned about the rain forests in south Africa Asia and Africa?
The rain forests of Africa, Asia, and South America are major carbon sinks, i.e. absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide and release oxygen back into the atmosphere. Because of their fast growth, rain forests (especially tropical rain forests) absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen faster than temperate and boreal forests. The Amazon rain forest alone accounts for 20% of the oxygen production for the earth. Over time, humans have cut down or damaged at least 75% of the world's forests, and that destruction has accounted for much of the excess carbon that is warming the planet. At this time tropical forests are undergoing much faster deforestation than the forests in North America and Europe - and when a tropical forest is cleared, it takes far, far longer to recover than forests in temperate climes. Currently the carbon released into the atmosphere in the process of deforestation of tropical rain forests now accounts for roughly 17% of all global emissions contributing to climate change. This is more carbon dioxide than all cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships collectively emit into the atmosphere. The forests of Europe, North America have been significantly reduced by logging and Australia doesn't have enough forests to make much of contribution so we are quite dependent on the tropical rain forests. Also - 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from ingredients found in tropical rain forests and it is reported that 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide are derived from plants from the tropical rain forests.
