What are the international norms to regulate CO2 emissions?
The Kyoto Protocol is a legally binding agreement that all nations signed to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. The USA refused to ratify it and Canada withdrew from it in 2011.
Why does pop 'explode' when you shake it up?
Because of the carbon dioxide (CO2) and the pressure created inside the can. along with the fact that when you mix carbon and oxygen it makes more gas, so in short it overflows in your hand because of to much gas and not enough space for it.
What is a result of glycolysis A conversion of fad to fadh2 B production of CO2 C conversion of glucose to two three carbon compounds D a net loss of two atps per glucose molecu?
C conversion of glucose to two three carbon compounds
What do you get if you burn petrol?
The burning of petrol (also known as gasoline) is a combustion reaction. Ideally gasoline and O2 + an ignition source yield carbon monoxide (CO2) and water (H2O). In actuality emissions also include the byproducts of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
What is a formal essay on global warming?
Global Warming is an increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere, especially a sustained increase sufficient to cause climatic change. For more informtaion visit the link below "Global Warming" Humans are to blame for global warming. They have contributed in many different ways such as burning fossil fuels like natural gas, coal and oil making CO2. Deforestation; taking trees and cutting them down. Also population growth is affecting it too. Burning natural gas, coal and oil is producing masses of non-used CO2. This is resulting in the melting of the arctic ice and leaving polar bears and other arctic animals without a home. For example the glacier national park, in Montana, now has only 27 glaciers, compared with 150 in 1910 that is not very many. Carbon dioxide (CO2) heats the air and the water causing the earth to heat up and resulting in melting the arctic ice. Some scientists believe that the ocean warming is resulting in increased CO2 and not the other way around. This theory is based on the idea that there is CO2 trapped in the ocean and as the temperature rises and the water evaporates the CO2 is released therefore causing the melting of the icebergs. Deforestation is affecting global warming because trees breathe out O2 (oxygen) and breath in CO2 (carbon dioxide). So if there is a shortage of trees that are not going to breathe in our CO2 then were stuck with more carbon dioxide in our atmosphere resulting in the air warming up because of the overload of CO2. Leading scientists think that we are contributing to global warming by deforesting areas of our earth which is not only killing innocent animals but can and probably will kill us if we keep polluting. Population growth is also affecting global warming in a bad way. More people means more cars, more cars means more fossil fuels burnt, more fossil fuels burnt means more pollution which pollution contains many greenhouse gases such as hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs ), per fluorocarbons (PFCs )and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) which are results exclusively from human industrial processes. Leading scientists believe that we are contributing to global warming in a big percentage by reproducing To sum up we are causing global warming in a bad way by burning natural gas, coal and oil concluding in heating up the water and melting the icebergs. Deforestation means less oxygen and more carbon dioxide. While population growth is affecting it by manufacturing more cars and factories. Leading scientists believe that we are the cause of global warming. Do you?
What is the role of CO2 in the atmosphere?
It used in carbon cycle.
Where in the carbon cycle do you see carbon and oxygen liked?
In the atmosphere, they are attached in the form of gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2).
What Carbon moves through the carbon cycle in all of the processes except what?
Carbon moves through the carbon cycle in all processes, except for the burning of fossil fuels. Fossil fuel burning releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, which disrupts the natural carbon cycle by increasing the concentration of CO2, a greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere.
What two sources take CO2 out of the atmosphere?
The ocean removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle. This carbon recycles round and returns to the atmosphere again.Trees, forests and all growing vegetation remove CO2 from the atmosphere, release the oxygen, and store the carbon. If it is a long living tree, it can store that carbon for hundreds of years.
What is the major process which adds CO2 to the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is a process that removes co2 from the atmosphere.
Where does carbon dioxide moves to?
Into the atmosphere. Then it is basically recycled again through the CO2 cycle.
Where does carbon dioxide moves?

Where in the CO2 cycle does CO2 gets released into the atmosphere?
There are some ways. It is happening mostly by Respiration.
What are the main features of the. carbon cycle?
The carbon cycle is a natural biogeochemical cycle whereby carbon as CO2 is transferred from the atmosphere to the land and ocean, where it resides in another form before returning to the atmosphere as CO2. The principal processes involved in transfer from the atmosphere are the dissolution of CO2 in the oceans and the uptake of CO2 by the photosynthesis of green plants. The processes involved in return to the atmosphere are the release of CO2 from the ocean in regions in which the surface of the ocean has become saturated with CO2 and the oxidation of organic matter by respiration or fire, which essentially reverses the photosynthetic process: 6CO2 + 12H2O ⇔ C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
Is the carbon cycle closely related to?
The carbon cycle is closely related to photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which carbon is exchanged from the atmosphere (in the form of CO2) into the biosphere (in the form of glucose).
Why is the atmosphere warming?
The atmosphere is warming because the extra carbon dioxide (CO2) in the greenhouse gases of the atmosphere is holding in more of the sun's heat. There is extra CO2 in the atmosphere because by burning coal, oil and natural gas (fossil fuel) we have released CO2 that had been safely concealed underground for millions of years. This has put pressure on the carbon cycle which has not been able to remove it.
What are non human activities by which carbon can enter the atmosphere as CO2 during the carbon cycle?
i still love you chrishon </3
