Carbon from limestone returns to the atmosphere through the process of weathering. Rainwater and carbonic acid break down the limestone, releasing carbon dioxide into the air. This process is a natural part of the carbon cycle.
When acid rain comes into contact with limestone, it produces carbon dioxide gas. This occurs due to a chemical reaction that dissolves the limestone, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
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.
Limestone weathering does not remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere because the carbon dioxide released during the weathering process is eventually reabsorbed by other chemical reactions, such as the formation of bicarbonate ions in water. The overall effect of limestone weathering on atmospheric carbon dioxide levels is neutral.
Carbon from seashells can enter the atmosphere through natural processes like weathering, which breaks down the shells and releases carbon dioxide. Additionally, human activities such as burning fossil fuels made from limestone, which is a source of carbon accumulated from ancient marine life, can release carbon into the atmosphere.
The specific component in soil that releases gaseous carbon back into the atmosphere is organic matter.
Carbon release from limestone reservoirs into the atmosphere most often occurs through human activities such as mining and quarrying operations. When limestone is extracted and processed, it can release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to carbon emissions.
When acid rain comes into contact with limestone, it produces carbon dioxide gas. This occurs due to a chemical reaction that dissolves the limestone, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
There is not pure oxygen in limestone, however any silica tetrahedrons in it contain 1 silicon and 4 oxygen molecules each. It is primarily comprised of CaCO3 - i.e., 3 Oxygens per Calcium Carbonate molecule. also known as mineral calcite.
Do you mean just the form of carbon in the atmosphere, or every where? If you mean in the atmosphere it's Carbon Dioxide, but if you mean everywhere it's in limestone, trees, the ocean, and other places. Sorry if this doesn't help ya.
Limestone rocks remove CO2 from the atmosphere through a process called weathering. When exposed to rainwater and carbon dioxide, limestone undergoes chemical reactions that convert CO2 into calcium bicarbonate, which eventually ends up in the ocean through rivers, effectively sequestering the carbon.
carbon is moved back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide goes back to the atmosphere through respiration, the decomposition of plants and animals, and combustion.

It puts the carbon back into the atmosphere

Carbon gets back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through the combustion of fossil fuels, and the cellular respiration of living things.
