What is the disturbance in carbon cycle due to greenhouse effect?

Answer 1

The usage of non renewable sources of energy are causing the greenhouse effect. The energy sources such as coal, oil, and natural gases omit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect.

Answer 2

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere allows the sun's rays to enter, but prevents much of the infrared radiation from escaping. The radiation builds up heat instead in the greenhouse gases. This warming is called the "greenhouse effect", because the same sort of thing happens in a greenhouse!

A:Carbon dioxide prevents heat escaping from Earth's atmosphere into outer space. As the amount of carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere, so the earth gets warmer. A:When heat energy is transferred from the sun to earth, some of it is absorbed by the planet and some some energy is reflected back into outer space,keeping earths' temperature steady. but when the ratio of CO2 in the atmosphere increase, the sun rays reflected from earths' surface hit layers of CO2 in the atmosphere and get trapped inside the planet...which eventually leads to increasing the temperature of the earth.

Answer 3

No part of the carbon cycle causes increased global warming. The carbon cycle has been moving carbon in and out of the atmosphere for millions of years, supporting the earth's greenhouse effect.

It is the extra carbon dioxide released when we burn fossil fuels that is causing increased global warming. This extra carbon dioxide, buried underground for 300 million years, is now overwhelming the carbon cycle, which is unable to move it out of the atmosphere. So these additional levels of greenhouse gas remain in the atmosphere getting warmer and warmer as levels rise.

Answer 4

Of the GHGs, CO2 is of greatest concern because it contributes the most to the Enhanced Greenhouse Effect and climate change. For this reason, scientists (at NOAA and elsewhere) have been studying this molecule carefully and attempting to quantify its abundance in the atmosphere and track how and why it changes. The CO2 molecule is involved in a complex series of processes called the carbon cycle, where the carbonatom within the molecule moves between many different natural reservoirs. As carbon is transferred between reservoirs, processes which release CO2 into the atmosphere are called sources, and processes which remove CO2 from the atmosphere are called sinks.

Carbon is continuously exchanged and recycled among the reservoirs through natural processes. These processes occur at various rates ranging from short-term fluctuations which occur daily and seasonally to very long-term cycles which occur over hundreds of millions of years. For example, there is a clear seasonal cycle in atmospheric CO2 as plants photosynthesizeduring the growing season, removing large amounts of CO2. Respiration(from both plants and animals) and decompositionof leaves, roots, and organic compounds release CO2 back into the atmosphere. On a scale spanning decades to centuries, CO2levels fluctuate gradually between the ocean and atmospheric reservoirs as ocean mixing occurs (between surface and deep waters) and the surface waters exchange CO2 with the atmosphere. Much longer cycles also occur, on the scale of geologic time, due to the deposition and weathering of carbonate and silicate rock. Carbonate rocks like limestone are formed from the shells of marine organisms buried on the ocean floor, and they are chemically eroded by reaction with CO2 (remember that CO2mixed with water is an acid) in the air and in soils. Silicate rock reacts with carbonate rock deep underground, producing CO2 gas coming out of volcanoes. Fossil fuels form a relatively small part of these natural geologic cycles.

Answer 5

The disturbance in the carbon cycle due to the greenhouse effect is an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This leads to the trapping of heat, causing global temperatures to rise and contributing to climate change. The imbalance disrupts natural processes like photosynthesis and carbon sequestration, leading to further environmental impacts.
