Carbon takes the form of carbon dioxide, CO2, and carbon monoxide, CO. Carbon dioxide makes up 0.04% of the atmosphere, and carbon monoxide makes up about 0.0002% of the atmosphere.

Hope this helps =)

What form is carbon in when released into the air?
Carbon most commonly enters the air as a gas: carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, or carbon monoxide, but it can also exist in the air as a solid (soot) for long periods of time. Carbon is an element in a solid form. When it released in air, it remains in the same form. If it is burnt in air then it released carbon dioxide & carbon mono oxide.
What consumes the most atmospheric carbon dioxide?
Trees and other growing vegetation remove the most carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What processes releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
RespirationCombustionDecayWeatheringThe major human processes that release carbon dioxide are the burning of carbon fuels (wood, coal, oil, gas) and the cellular respiration of animals and plants. CO2 is also released by the weathering of carbonate rocks, especially by acid rain.Cellular respiration is mainly balanced by the removal of carbon by photosynthesis, which releases oxygen. This is essentially the reverse process, removing the energy stored by forming carbohydrates.In terms of what process releases the most carbon dioxide into our atmosphere it is decaying organic matter. Total natural decay accounts for over 80% of all CO2 released annually. Natural processes in total account for 93% of all CO2 releases.
IS Carbon dioxide the most abundant trace gas in Earth s atmosphere?
no.
How did the earth's atmosphere change composition to become today's nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere?
The original atmosphere of Earth was lost when the solar wind of the early sun stripped away all the gas from around Earth. A secondary atmosphere was slowly released by volcanoes as gases were released from the molten rock. Most of this gas is carbon dioxide, but it is gradually dissolved in the oceans and precipitates out as carbonate rock instead of building up in the atmosphere.
What the from of carbon in the atmosphere?
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.
Where is most of the Earth's carbon located in what form?
Most of the Earth's carbon is located in the atmosphere. It is in the form of carbon dioxide
Where is most of earth carbon?
In the atmosphere, in the form of carbon dioxide
Where is the most of the earths carbon located?
In the atmosphere, in the form of carbon dioxide
Where is most of earth's carbon located?
In the atmosphere, in the form of carbon dioxide
Where is most of the Earth located?
In the atmosphere, in the form of carbon dioxide
Where is the most of the Earth's carbon located and in what form?
A majority of the earths carbon is located in the ocean.
Carbon in the atmosphere is most often found as which of the following compounds?
List the compounds so I can answer your question. I would imagine Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide would be the first 2.
What gas is released into the atmosphere by most human proccesses?
This gas is carbon dioxide.
When carbon is released into the atmosphere what compound is it locked in?
Most commonly as Carbon dioxide, but it is also released as elemental carbon, usually as a fine powder, which is often carried many miles by our atmosphere, before being deposited all over the earth.
What form of man made energy releases the most carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels.
