How can carbon dioxide be removed from the earths atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide can be removed from the Earth's atmosphere through various methods, including afforestation and reforestation to increase carbon storage in trees, implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in industrial processes, and promoting sustainable practices such as reducing fossil fuel consumption and enhancing soil carbon sequestration through techniques like no-till farming. Additionally, enhancing natural processes like ocean uptake of CO2 can also help in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


Why does the temperature of the atmosphere not increase or decrease steadily as you move from Earth's surface toward space?

The upper layers of the atmosphere are heated from above, while the lower layers are heated from below, because infrared radiation is given off by the Earth's surface in response to solar heating. The lower troposphere (with its denser molecules and water vapor) receives heat from both re-radiation and convection. The result is that while the atmosphere always gets thinner with altitude, the temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere, then increases with altitude in the stratosphere. The very high temperatures in the thermosphere are moot because of the low specific heat (energy capacity) of the tenuous gases there.


Which one of the following is the gradual increase of the average air temperature in the earths lower atmosphere?

The gradual increase of the average air temperature in Earth's lower atmosphere is known as global warming.


What human activities contribute to the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Human activities that contribute to the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere include burning fossil fuels for energy, deforestation, and industrial processes.


What is a gradual increase in the average temperature of earths atmosphere?

A gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is known as global warming. This is primarily caused by human activities releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which trap heat and contribute to the Earth's temperature rising.

An increase in ocean salinity can increase density creating a convection current.


What helps in heating water conduction or convection?

Convection. The circulation of the water spreads the temperature increase. Despite its shocking reputation water is a pretty poor conductor.


What Stimuli that increase the frequency of a behavior when they are removed is called?

Negative reinforcement is when a stimulus, such as a painful experience or chore, is removed after a behavior to increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future.


What will happen if convection in the mantle increased?

There is no reason to think that convection in the Earth's mantle is going to increase; indeed, I expect it to decrease over time. However, if it were to increase, the result would be an increasing number and severity of earthquakes, and faster continental drift.

An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?

Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.


How does convection and conduction differ?

I don't know. Radiation stimulates atoms whereas conducton and convection increase the volume. This answer is correct because my science teacher checked it and I did a project on it. thanks
