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.


Which of these is not one of the primary gase found in earths atmosphere?

Helium is not one of the primary gases found in Earth's atmosphere. The primary gases in Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide. Helium makes up a very small percentage of the atmosphere.


How did the formation of coal decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the earths early atmosphere?

The formation of coal removed carbon dioxide from the Earth's early atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. Plants absorbed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stored it in their tissues. When these plants died and were buried, the carbon they had absorbed remained trapped in the coal deposits, thus reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


How did the growth of primitive plants change the percentage of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the earths early atmosphere?

The growth of primitive plants, such as algae and mosses, led to an increase in oxygen levels through photosynthesis. This process reduced the percentage of carbon dioxide in the Earth's early atmosphere as the plants used it for growth. This shift in gases laid the groundwork for the development of more complex plant and animal life forms.

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.
