The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) by humankind is releasing extra carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. This is upsetting the natural balance of carbon cycle.

By what process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
What process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
What is the major process which adds CO2 to the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is a process that removes co2 from the atmosphere.
Does burning fossil fuels remove carbon from the atmosphere?
No, it puts carbon into the atmosphere.
How does burning fossil fuels affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by increasing it.
By what process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
What process is the carbon in fossil fuels released into the atmosphere?
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
How do plants and animals maintain a balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The balance can be maintained through their deaths which means they have fossil fuels which get mined and combusted back into CO2 again.
What is the major process which adds CO2 to the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is a process that removes co2 from the atmosphere.
What process caused the atmosphere's composition to change so much?
Burning fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is building up in the atmosphere.
How is the human activity upsetting the natural balance of the carbon cycle?
The carbon cycle takes CO2 from the atmosphere in various ways, and then releases it back into the atmosphere. This is a balanced process, so there is always the same amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. This supports the natural greenhouse effect which has kept the planet warm for millions of years.Human activity (deforestation and the discovery and burning of fossil fuels) is upsetting the natural balance. We cut down trees so more CO2 is left in the air. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon emissions that have been safely hidden underground for millions of years, so they are an extra burden. So the natural balance of the carbon cycle is upset, and we have global warming.A:Through industry and transportation we release excess CO2 into the atmosphere, too much for vegetation to soak up so it stays in the atmosphere, making it thicker.
What are law fossil succession?
when a fossil is in the process of being made. when a fossil is in the process of being made. when a fossil is in the process of being made.
Fossil fuel increases the concentration of what gas?
During combustion process, fossil fuels generate CO2, H2O and SO2. Therefore, the amount of CO2 keeps increasing in the atmosphere resulting in global warming ...
How can cars pollute the rivers?
they release fossil fuels in to the atmosphere, fossil fuels is mainly coal and they pollute the atmosphere and rivers as you said.
How is carbon in fossil fuels eventually returned to the atmosphere?
The CO and CO2 comes from burning fossil fuels, and is released into the atmosphere in the smoke.
Does burning fossil fuels remove carbon from the atmosphere?
No, it puts carbon into the atmosphere.
How does burning fossil fuels affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by increasing it.
