Yes (higher= less oxygen, and vice-versa for lower.)

actually the oxygen ratio remains the same but air gets less dense at altitude so you have to breathe a lot more air to get the oxygen you need

What increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as carbon source?

Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.


How does the amount of carbon in the atmosphere stay the same?

The amount of carbon in the atmosphere stays relatively constant through a balance of carbon sources and sinks. Natural processes, like photosynthesis and respiration, regulate the levels of carbon dioxide. However, human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, have disrupted this balance by releasing excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.


Is the Carbon dioxide changing by the same amount each year?

The current level of CO2 in our atmosphere is 390 parts per million. We are now releasing CO2 at astonishing rates into our atmosphere, so to answer your question no. More Carbon Dioxide is being put into our atmosphere each year. There is an average, but that has gone up in the past few decades.


Do venus and earth have the same amount of carbon dioxide?

No, Venus has far more carbon dioxide. Earth's atmosphere is about .04% carbon dioxide. By contrast, Venus has an atmosphere that is 96% carbon dioxide and 93 times thicker than earth's. This means that Venus' atmosphere contains over 200,000 times more CO2 than earth's atmosphere does.


What does it mean to say that algae fuel is carbon neutral?

Carbon neutral means that algae fuel does not affect the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Algae takes in carbon dioxide as it grows, then, when the fuel is burnt, this same carbon dioxide is released. No increase, just exactly the same amount. This is why biofuel is so much better than fossil fuel which releases carbon that had been hidden underground for millions of years, so adding to the levels in the atmosphere.

Does respiration decrease or increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Respiration (breathing) has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We take in carbon in our food and drink and we release it again when we breathe. If we eat too much, the extra carbon is stored in our bodies, making us fatter, in much the same way as a tree stores carbon in its wood as it grows.So breathing does not increase or decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


What increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon dioxide?

What is a natural source of sulfur dioxide carbon dioxide and ash in the atmosphere?

Volcanic eruptions are a natural source of sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and ash in the atmosphere. During an eruption, gases such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide are released from the magma, along with ash which is a mixture of fine rock particles and gases.


Is the same size as earth has no moons and has thick atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide?

The planet you are describing matches the characteristics of Venus. Venus is nearly the same size as Earth, has no moons, and its atmosphere is mostly composed of carbon dioxide, with thick clouds of sulfuric acid.


Do you think carbon dioxide does the same to the atmosphere?
