that's wat i wnna no

....

CO2 is made when we burn fossil fuels in cars in our homes and in power stations. The amount of cars and power stations however is rising.

Also combustion can mean respiration in an organism, and so when all the living things on Earth respire they produce CO2.

This means that CO2 levels are steadily rising.

Hope that helps

How does carbon move from living things in the atmosphere?

Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere through processes such as respiration, decomposition, and combustion. During respiration, organisms release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Decomposition of dead organisms also releases carbon dioxide. Combustion of fossil fuels by humans is another significant way carbon is released into the atmosphere.


What is the role of combustion in the carbon cycle?

Combustion releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when organic matter is burned. This disrupts the balance of carbon in the carbon cycle by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change.


What is it called when fossil fuels are burned and turned into co2?

This process is called combustion. During combustion, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are burned, releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants into the atmosphere.


This element does not burn but combustion cannot occur without it?

Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere. It is a key component for sustaining combustion as it dilutes oxygen and raises the combustion temperature, helping to control the rate of burning.


How does carbon leave the biosphere?

Carbon leaves the biosphere through processes such as respiration, decomposition, and combustion. When organisms respire, they release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. Decomposition of organic matter and combustion of fossil fuels also contribute to carbon leaving the biosphere and entering the atmosphere.

How does atmosphere affect a rocket?

The atmosphere affects a rocket by providing resistance as the rocket travels through it, which causes drag. Thicker atmospheres can increase drag and make it more difficult for a rocket to accelerate. Additionally, the atmosphere's composition can affect the combustion process in the rocket engines.

Does The combustion of fossil fuels releases oxygen into the atmosphere?

No, the combustion of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, not oxygen. Oxygen is consumed during the combustion process to help the fuel burn, but it is not released as a byproduct.


Does air affect Earth's atmosphere?

Air is Earth's atmosphere.


How does combustion engines form acid rain?

Combustion engines release nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere as byproducts of fuel burning. These gases can react with water vapor, oxygen, and other chemicals in the atmosphere to form nitric acid (HNO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). When these acids mix with rainwater, they create acid rain, which can harm ecosystems, corrode buildings, and adversely affect human health. Thus, emissions from combustion engines contribute significantly to the formation of acid rain.


What is it called when carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere?
