What must be done to carbon dioxide gas to change it to solid?

the cold air can change the carbon dioxide gas to a solid


How does photosynthesis help combat global warming?

during photosynthesis, plants use co2 as one of their reactant and produce oxygen. with less plants/trees, more co2 are being trapped within the atmosphere which makes global warming and influences the climate.


How does going carbon neutral work?

A carbon neutral fuel is one that does not add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Biofuel and biomass are carbon neutral because they remove CO2 from the atmosphere during their growing season, and they release exactly the same amount of CO2 when they are burnt. So they are carbon neutral.


When you burn a fuel what is released that allows work to be done?

Carbon Dioxide is release allowing work to be done.


Why aren't atomospheric levels of carbon dioxide rising as rapidly as might be expected based on the increased output of carbon dioxide resulting from human activites?

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are not matching the increasing amounts humans are putting into the air because the carbon cycle is actually able to remove about 55% of the extra carbon dioxide from our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Land, plants and ocean have removed more than half of our pollution.A:This is a very difficult question to answer because there are too many factors that can affect our atmosphere, my personal views are affected by an article i read about how different air content affected how plants grow. i don't know how accurate the article was but it seems the more carbon dioxide in are atmosphere the more plants consume and grow therefore producing more oxygen, statistics have proven today that roughly 30% of earth's landmasses are covered in trees, then take into account that a very large amount is covered in other plant life ie grass, mosses, flowers, bushes. so to truly answer this question more research needs to be done on how the plants are affected by atmospheric content and how much they affect it in return as they consume a lot of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere.

What have plants done to the atmosphere?

they take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, and in doing so they are reducing the carbon emmisions in the air.


Can the natural cycle of carbon dioxide emissions increase carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere?

No, the natural cycle of carbon dioxide (CO2) moves through the land, oceans and atmosphere, and has done for millions of years. It is able to remove all the natural carbon in the air (and part of the global warming carbon as well). It is the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity that releases carbon that has been hidden underground for millennia that is increasing the carbon concentrations in the atmosphere.


How is deforestation responsible for global warming?

Trees and all growing vegetation remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Deforestationmeans destroying the forests of the world, which is what man has done, and is still doing. This means that carbon dioxide is building up in the atmosphere, capturing more and more heat, because there aren't enough trees left to remove the carbon dioxide.


What can be done to help keep the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen?

To help keep the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen, planting trees and other vegetation can help absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. Additionally, reducing carbon emissions from industrial activities and transportation can help prevent an excess build-up of carbon dioxide. Lastly, promoting sustainable practices that preserve natural habitats and ecosystems can help maintain the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

How is coal converted into other forms of energy?

Coal is normally burned to produce heat. This is done by burning the coal with oxygen from the atmosphere. The process unites carbon and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and the formation of the chemical bonds in this process releases energy as heat. Burning one ton of coal creates about 3 tons of carbon dioxide. The additional mass comes from the oxygen taken from the atmosphere.


The overarching goal of the carbon mitigation initiative is to?

The overarching goal of the carbon mitigation initiative is to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide, released into the atmosphere. This is done to combat climate change and its impacts on the environment, society, and economy.

What is a gas created by plants?

There are two, oxygen and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is produced by photosythensis, which is done only during the daytime. Carbon dioxide is given off by cellular respiration, which is done all the time. Overall, more oxygen is given off then carbon dioxide.

What is carbon storage?

Carbon storage refers to the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide to prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. This can be done through methods such as reforestation, carbon capture and storage technology, and protecting and restoring carbon-rich ecosystems like wetlands and peatlands. By storing carbon, we can help mitigate climate change by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.


A gas that you breathe out is a waste gas?

The gas that is being referred to is carbon dioxide which is a waste product of cellular respiration. In the respiratory system carbon dioxide is removed from the body as it is breathed out. This is done by the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and bloodstream. Oxygen is inhaled in enters the bloodstream and is then distributed throughout the body. At the same time carbon dioxide is breathed out which is produced as a waste product of cellular respiration.
