Why is the concentration of carbon dioxide rapidly increasing in the Earths atmosphere?
In the past 50 to 100 years, man has burned about one halve of all the oil which formed through the ages, plus large amounts of coal, lumber, and natural gas. This is the source of the carbon dioxide. It would be worse except the oceans absorbed some of the carbon dioxide increase.
What makes up 1 percent of Earth's atmosphere?
1 percent of the earths atmosphere is made of the following: - Argon (0.93%) - Carbon dioxide (0.03%) - Neon> trace - Helium> trace - Methane> trace - Krypton> trace - Xenon> trace - Hydrogen> trace - Ozone> trace 21% of earths atmosphere is made of oxygen 78% of earths atmosphere is made of nitrogen
How much carbon dioxide makes up earths atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) makes up about 0.04% of Earth's atmosphere. While it is a relatively small percentage, CO2 plays a significant role in the Earth's climate system.
What is the name of an abnormally rapid rise in earths average temperature caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The term for an abnormally rapid rise in Earth's average temperature caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is global warming.
Almost all of earths carbon dioxide is found in which layer of the atmosphere?
The majority of Earth's carbon dioxide is found in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where weather occurs. This layer extends from the Earth's surface up to about 10-15 kilometers in altitude.
What is the reason for the rise in the average air temperature at the earths surface?
The Industrial Revolution began increasing the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere when we started burning fossil fuel.
Where is the most of the earths carbon located?
In the atmosphere, in the form of carbon dioxide
What was most abundant gas in the earths first atmosphere?
This gas was carbon dioxide.
What gas was not found in earths early atmosphere but was produced by photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide
Where is most of the water vapor and carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere found?
Upper Part
What is the air that makes up earths atmosphere?
Earths atmosphere is 78% nitrogen,21%oxygen,0.9% argon,and 0.03% carbon dioxide with very small percentages of other elements
What 3 gases made up the earths atmosphere a lot of years ago?
carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and still nitrogen
What is the earths atomsphere?
the earth atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide and oxygen and some helium.
What will happen if you have more carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. More of it in the earth's atmosphere means that more heat will be retained. This will, indeed is, causing global warming.
What greenhouse gas used to make up most of earths early atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide used to make up most of Earth's early atmosphere.

What are the names of all the elements in earth's atmosphere?
the earths atmosphere is 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, with traces of argon, carbon dioxide and water.
