How would a drastic reduction in plant life on earth affect the atmosphere?
levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide would decrease and levels of carbon dioxide would increase.
What is a rise in the earth's surface temperature due to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
It is called the Greenhouse effect.
Does respiration decrease or increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Respiration (breathing) has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We take in carbon in our food and drink and we release it again when we breathe. If we eat too much, the extra carbon is stored in our bodies, making us fatter, in much the same way as a tree stores carbon in its wood as it grows.So breathing does not increase or decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What is an increase in Earths average temperature due to the buildup of carbon dioxide and other gases in Earth's atmosphere?
global warming
What gas has increase in concentration in the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution?
Carbon dioxide
What happens when carbon dioxide levels decrease in the atmosphere?
The atmospheric temperature will decrease
What would happen to the temperature of the atmosphere if carbon dioxide increase due to human activity?
It will rise. The temperature of the atmosphere is rising already because carbon dioxide is increasing due to human activity.
How can a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase Earth's global temperature?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
What factors increase or decrease the rate of photosynthesis?
carbondioxide: increase cO2- photosynthesis
How would a drastic reduction in plant life on earth affect the atmosphere?
levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide would decrease and levels of carbon dioxide would increase.
How can you prove in an experiment that carbon dioxide concentration and temperature are limiting factors?
To change (increase or decrease) carbon dioxide concentration and temperature (in different experiments, not simultaneously) and to measure the effect on growth.
How does the earth temperature drops?
1) oceans absorb carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere, thereby bringing down the temperature 2) oceans emit heat from the sunlight they absorb and increase the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere.
When carbon dioxide levels increase in the atmosphere what happens to global temperatures?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
What is the relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide and global temperature?
Increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is considered a factor that increase the global warming.
