What is carbon dioxide naturally absorbed and stored in?
Carbon dioxide is naturally absorbed (through photosynthesis) and stored in trees and vegetation. It is also absorbed and stored in the oceans.
What will the carbon dioxide eventually become?
Carbon dioxide can be absorbed by plants through photosynthesis, converted into glucose and oxygen. It can also dissolve in oceans and form carbonic acid, contributing to ocean acidification. Additionally, it can be absorbed and stored in geological formations through carbon capture and storage technologies.
Carbon is stored in the atmosphere in the form of what molecule?
Carbon is stored in the atmosphere primarily as carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule.
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 could cutting down trees lead to the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. When trees are cut down and not replaced, this carbon dioxide is no longer absorbed, leading to an increase in its levels in the atmosphere. Additionally, when trees are burnt or decompose, the stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Is carbon stored in the biosphere in the oceans as dissolved carbon dioxide?
Yes, it is.
Oceans are a reservoir for carbon stored as?
Oceans store carbon dioxide as dissolved inorganic carbon. This carbon is essential for regulating the Earth's climate.
How does a forest fire contribute to the carbon cycle?
Forest fires release stored carbon in trees and vegetation into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. This contributes to the carbon cycle by moving carbon from living biomass back into the atmosphere, where it can be used by plants for photosynthesis or absorbed by the oceans.
In what type of compound is carbon stored in the ocean?
carboate (co32-) and carbon dioxide (co2)
Where is Mars CO2 stored?
The atmosphere of Mars contain 95,32 % carbon dioxide. In the polar zones carbon dioxide is as dry ice.
How is carbon dioxide taken out of the atmosphere besides photosynthesis?
Some carbon dioxide is absorbed by the top levels of the oceans where it is beginning to turn the oceans more acidic. That and photosynthesis are the only ways that carbon dioxide is taken out of the atmosphere. Industries that emit carbon dioxide pollution are trialling ways of trapping carbon dioxide as it goes up the chimney stacks (scrubbers).
Is carbon dioxide produced from the burning of wood?
Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.
