What happened to the carbon cycle as humans cut down rain forests?

As humans cut down rain forests, the carbon cycle is disrupted because forests store a large amount of carbon that is released into the atmosphere when trees are cut down and burned or decompose. This leads to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, contributing to climate change and global warming. The loss of trees also reduces the planet's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.


How much Argon and nitrogen is there in the martian atmosphere?

the Martian atmosphere is made up of 95% Carbon Dioxide, 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon, and 0.4% oxygen.


What are some ways in which carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere?

Carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide as a result of animals breathing, when they convert oxygen to carbon dioxide. All kinds of fires, both natural and man-made, release carbon dioxide into the air. This includes the fires used to cook food during a summer BBQ or in less developed parts of the world, as well as that fires that turn coal or natural gas into electricity, and the fires that cause your gasoline or diesel powered car to run. In addition, the decay of dead plants and animals releases carbon to the atmosphere.


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 are the argon carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen and oxygen contents of Mars' atmosphere?

According to NASA, the atmosphere of Mars is about 95-96% Carbon Dioxide, 2-3% Nitrogen, 1-2% Argon, and 0.1-0.2% Oxygen, 0.01-0.02% Carbon Monoxide with the "Other gases" making up less than 1% of the atmosphere.

How does burning less fossil fuels reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere?

Burning less fossil fuels means fewer carbon dioxide emissions are produced during combustion. This reduction helps lower the overall concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which helps mitigate the greenhouse effect and global warming. By using alternative energy sources and improving energy efficiency, we can lessen our reliance on fossil fuels and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.


How does burning trees effects carbon dioxide?

Burning trees not only creates more carbon dioxide because of the smoke released from the burning, but also because trees help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They take in CO2 and release oxygen. The less trees there are, the more CO2 in our atmosphere.


Carbon in the atmosphere is most often found as which of the following compounds?

List the compounds so I can answer your question. I would imagine Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide would be the first 2.


What percent of Jupiter's atmosphere is carbon dioxide?

Less than 1% of Jupiter's atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide. The majority of Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of hydrogen and helium.


What planet has carbon dioxide and nitrogen in its atmosphere?

Earth, Mars and venus all have nitrogen and Carbon dioxide in their atmosphere, though the levels vary from planet to planet.


What effect is enhanced on earth with increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere results in an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A decrease usually results in a decreased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere


Where is carbon in the atmosphere mostly found?

Carbon in the atmosphere is mostly found in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), which makes up about 0.04% of the atmosphere. Carbon can also exist in the form of methane (CH4) and other greenhouse gases in smaller concentrations.

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would greatly increase if there were fewer?

plants and trees, as they play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Their absence would lead to less carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere, resulting in higher levels.


What describes seasonal changes in the levels of carbon dixode in the atmosphere?

Seasonal changes in carbon dioxide levels are driven by the Earth's natural processes. During the winter, plants go dormant and release less oxygen during photosynthesis, causing carbon dioxide levels to rise. In the spring and summer, plants become active and absorb more carbon dioxide, leading to a decrease in atmospheric levels.


How can you breathe out more CO2?

Yes. You exhale carbon dioxide and oxygen. You breathe out normal air although the cabon dioxide level is greater and there is less oxygen.


Which gas forms less than one percent of the atmosphere but is essential to life?

carbon dioxide
