How many pounds of carbon dioxide is remove form the atmosphere annually when a tree is removed?

When a tree is removed, it can release the carbon dioxide it has stored over its lifetime back into the atmosphere, instead of removing it. So, the removal of a tree can actually lead to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, depending on how the tree is handled and if it is replaced with new plantings.

How many times more carbon is in the oceans than in the atmosphere?

The oceans contain about 50 times more carbon dioxide (CO2) than the atmosphere and 19 times more than the land biosphere.


What happened to the earth's climate after Rodinia broke up?

With the break up of the supercontinenent, Rodinia, there were of course many smaller continents which led to more rainfall and consequently less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (since rain "washes" the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere). As a result of less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, temperatures dropped and ice began to form in polar regions.


Carbon dioxide is building up in your atmosphere for two reasons The first is that many of your activities produce carbon dioxide The second reason is that some of your activities limit the amount of?

carbon dioxide being absorbed by natural processes like forests. This imbalance in carbon dioxide levels is contributing to global warming and climate change. It is important to reduce carbon emissions and protect natural ecosystems to help mitigate these impacts.

What is the role of the atmosphere in the carbon cycle?

Nature produces the vast bulk of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Rotting trees, and dead matter produce over 90% of the current levels of carbon dioxide. Man produces between 3 and 6 percent of all CO2 annually.

Why are forests?

Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere from many sources including our breathing. This carbon dioxide is the pollution that causes global warming. Trees naturally absorb carbon dioxide to create energy and therefore stop it from being released into the atmosphere. This is why we need to conserve our forests.


What are the main gases in the atmosphere of Venus?

The main gases in the atmosphere of Venus are carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2), with trace amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and water vapor (H2O). Carbon dioxide makes up the majority of the atmosphere, contributing to its thick and dense nature.

How does cellular respiration effect carbon and oxygen in the atmosphere?

Cellular respiration uses oxygen and generates carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and generates oxygen.
