The carbon cycle is a process where carbon is removed and returned to the atmosphere. The ways of returning carbon to the atmosphere are-
1. Respiration
2. Decomposition
3. Combustion
Ways of removing carbon-
Photosynthesis.
The CO2 in the air is taken in by green plants for photosynthesis. The green plants die eventually and is decomposed; decomposition return carbon to the atmosphere. Animals respire and return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Decomposers respire as well. Green plants can be used to make fuels, which combust to return carbon dioxide to the air.

What is a natural source of sulfur dioxide carbon dioxide and ash in the atmosphere?
Volcanos release sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and ash to the atmosphere at the same time
What describes seasonal changes in the levels of carbon dixode in the atmosphere?
Plants use carbon dioxide, so there is less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the summer.
How could cutting down trees lead to the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Because trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and if they cut them down we will have more carbon dioxide.
How does carbon enter plants from the atmosphere?
As carbon dioxide. Plants convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water to glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen in the chemical process of photosynthesis.
Does photosynthesis take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?
No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere: Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
What planet has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Venus has the thickest carbon dioxide atmosphere.
Terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Mars is the terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere. Venus also has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, but it is very thick.
Where does co2 loading occur?
- carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere: - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by the biosphere - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by body of waters
Starting billions of years ago algae lowered the levels in the atmosphere?
Carbon Dioxide
The process of decay releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
The process of decay releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
Does Soils emit carbon dioxide into 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.
What is a natural source of sulfur dioxide carbon dioxide and ash in the atmosphere?
Volcanos release sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and ash to the atmosphere at the same time
How man contribute to the formation of the atmosphere?
Well I know that the atmosphere has carbon dioxide in it, and when we breath out we release carbon dioxide that could be then added to the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide in a sentence?
The carbon Dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere are rising.
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as carbon dioxide?
Respiration :)
Is the Martian atmosphere dense with a high concentration of carbon dioxide?
No. The Martian atmosphere is very thin, but it does consist mainly of carbon dioxide. Venus is the terrestrial planet with a dense atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid.
