What process(es) add(s) carbon to the atmosphere?
Burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes like cement production are major contributors to adding carbon to the atmosphere. Additionally, activities like agriculture and land-use change also release carbon into the atmosphere.
An imbalance in what cycle contributes to global warming?
An imbalance in the carbon cycle, specifically an excess of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, contributes to global warming. This excess CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and an increase in global temperatures.
At which period in history did mankind start to add lots of greehouse gases to the atmosphere?
The Industrial Revolution, starting in the late 18th century, marked the period when mankind began adding significant amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels for energy and industrial activities.
What is a fossi fuel?
Fossil fuels are those fuels that contain carbon i.e gas,oil coal. The formation of these fuels is through the decay, burial, rotting vegetation on land and water marine over many years. The burning of these fuels add to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
What is the difference between a carbon source and a carbon sink, and how do they contribute to the overall balance of carbon in the environment?
A carbon source releases carbon into the atmosphere, like burning fossil fuels. A carbon sink absorbs carbon from the atmosphere, like forests or oceans. Sources add carbon, sinks remove it, helping maintain a balance in the environment.
Does burning fuels add nitrogen into the atmosphere?
no
How do humans add nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Humans add nitrogen to the atmosphere primarily through the burning of fossil fuels, which releases nitrogen oxides. Agricultural activities, such as the application of nitrogen-based fertilizers, also contribute to nitrogen emissions into the atmosphere.
How can you add a gas to the earths atmosphere?
the icecaps in iceland have i think c0 in it when it melts it is released and the burning of fossil fuels
What is a fossis?

What human actions involve burning fossil fuels and add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere?
Generating electricity in power plantsbuilding factories,driving cars,flying in an aircraft.
What directly adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Breathing.Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
What are some things that might add gases to the earth's atmosphere?
Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not the atmosphere?
if not from the atmosphere , they must depend on a process called nitrogen fixation. They get it from the soil. That's why farmers add fertilizer to the soil to increase nitrogen content
What process(es) add(s) carbon to the atmosphere?

Why does the carbon dioxide released by burning biomass not result in global warming?
Biomass (burning of plant material) does release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, but it is CO2 that was recently taken out of the atmosphere (when the plants were growing) so it doesn't add extra CO2 or cause global warming. Burning biomass then is part of the natural carbon cycle which moves CO2 in and out of the atmosphere.The carbon dioxide that comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) was taken out of the atmosphere millions of years ago, so releasing it now is adding extra CO2 (and causing global warming).This is why biomass is renewable energy and much better than fossil fuels.
An imbalance in what cycle contributes to global warming?
An imbalance in the carbon cycle, specifically an excess of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, contributes to global warming. This excess CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and an increase in global temperatures.
Why is the Earth getting warmer every day?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat. We are continuing to add extra greenhouse gases (by burning fossil fuels) and this is causing the warming. The great forests that used to remove carbon dioxide (one of the greenhouse gases) from the atmosphere have been destroyed.
