What else can I help you with?
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.
What percentage of carbon dioxide is in mars atmosphere?
About 95.3% of Mars' atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide.
Where is carbon in the atmosphere mostly found?
Carbon in the atmosphere is mostly found in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), which makes up about 0.04% of the atmosphere. Carbon can also exist in the form of methane (CH4) and other greenhouse gases in smaller concentrations.
What planet has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Venus has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, making up about 96.5% of its atmosphere. This high concentration of carbon dioxide contributes to the intense greenhouse effect on the planet, resulting in surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.
What percent of mars atmosphere is carbon dioxide?
The martian atmosphere is composed of five main gases, with carbon dioxide making up 95.32% of the atmosphere. Other gases include:Nitrogen - 2.7%Argon - 1.6%;Oxygen - 0.13%;Carbon Monoxide - 0.08%
What cycles are affected by global warming?
The carbon cycle is severely affected. Extra carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels is overloading the cycle.The water cycle is affected by the extra heat in the atmosphere.
How are fossil fuels responsible for global warming?
The burning of fossil fuels releases age-old carbon which has been buried underground for millions of years. So this carbon is not part of the carbon cycle where carbon is constantly moving in and out of the atmosphere. This is extra carbon that is overloading the carbon cycle and so is building up in the atmosphere. A build up of greenhouse gases causes increased warming and this is causing global warming.
What other human activity is over loading the carbon cycle?
Deforestation is another human activity that is overloading the carbon cycle. When trees are cut down and burned or left to decompose, the carbon stored in them is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
How is carbon extracted from atmosphere?
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere in some ways. For example, plants and trees eliminate carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon will be released into the atmosphere when an organism dies.
What the from of carbon in the atmosphere?
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.
Process by which carbon circulatesaroundthe earth as plants remove carbon from the atmosphere and animals add carbon to the atmosphere?
Carbon Cycle.
What molecule is carbon found in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the molecule in which carbon is found in the Earth's atmosphere.
Why are scientist concerned that rain forest are being cut down at high rates?
Forests are often described as the "lungs" of the earth. This is because they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to global warming. When forests are cut down, less carbon dioxide is absorbed and more exists in the air, thus contributing to global warming.
Does carbon dioxide sink or rise in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide rises in the atmosphere.
What molecule carries most of the carbon in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the molecule that carries most of the carbon in the atmosphere.
Process by which carbon circulates around the earth as plants remove carbon from the atmosphere and animal add carbon to the atmosphere?
The carbon cycle
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
Carbon is cycled from the atmosphere to producers (plants) through photosynthesis, where they take in carbon dioxide to produce glucose. Consumers then consume these plants, obtaining carbon by eating them. When consumers respire or decompose, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
