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).
Large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide is absorbed by?
Forests and Oceans.
How is carbon dioxide fixed in the atmosphere?
It is not fixed in the atmosphere. It moves as part of the carbon cycle in and out of the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.
What are the impacts of excess carbon dioxide on both of the Atmosphere and the Oceans?
Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to global warming and climate change by trapping heat and altering weather patterns. In the oceans, carbon dioxide is absorbed, causing ocean acidification which harms marine life, especially organisms that rely on calcium carbonate to build their shells or skeletons.
What are large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide absorbed by?
The ocean absorbs large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and is acidified thereby.
What gas in the atmosphere was absorbed by the oceans as they formed?
The ocean water absorbed much of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Where does carbon dioxide go after it is released into the atmosphere?
After carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it can be absorbed by plants through photosynthesis, dissolved in the oceans, or remain in the atmosphere contributing to the greenhouse effect.
What do oceans on earth absorbed much of?
carbon dioxide
What activities of man results acidification of oceans?
The most prominant artificial cause of the acidification of the oceans is the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This causes the oceans to absorb the CO2, thereby increasing their acidity
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.
Large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide are absorbed by .?
Oceans

Forests and Oceans.
What absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
The carbon dioxide is absorbed by: 1. Chlorophyll in green plants. The chlorophyll breaks down the carbon dioxide to carbon and oxygen. The carbon is used by the plant as a nutrient and the oxygen is released to the atmosphere. 2. Oceans. The carbon dioxide absorbed and dissolved in the water. The carbon dioxide is adsorbed by green algae and water micro organisms.
How is carbon dioxide fixed in the atmosphere?
It is not fixed in the atmosphere. It moves as part of the carbon cycle in and out of the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.
Where does carbon dioxide go when it leaves earth's atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide does not leave the atmosphere into space, but rather back to the earth and the oceans. Much of it is taken up by plants through photosynthesis, while much of the remainder is taken up by oceans. Oceans, however, also outgas a considerable amount, so it is not just a one-way transport.
How many times more carbon is in the oceans than in the atmosphere?
The oceans contain about 50 times more carbon dioxide (CO2) than the atmosphere and 19 times more than the land biosphere.
