It means there is more greenhouse gases in the air. Greenhouse gases absorb and hold the sun's heat. So an increase means that the atmosphere gets warmer, globally (global warming).

Does a rise in population mean carbon dioxide levels rise?

Yes, because every person has a carbon footprint, some larger than others. So, as populations increase, so do carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.


Name the form of carbon in the atmosphere reservoir?

Do you mean just the form of carbon in the atmosphere, or every where? If you mean in the atmosphere it's Carbon Dioxide, but if you mean everywhere it's in limestone, trees, the ocean, and other places. Sorry if this doesn't help ya.


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 venus show signs of oxygen in its atmosphere?

If by Oxygen you mean pure Oxygen molecules, then no, only possible trace amounts. However, there is massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide (95% of Venus's atmosphere) which can be fairly easily be converted into oxygen.


How does a person get carbon dioxide in their system other than smoking a fire or gas leak?

I think you mean carbon MONoxide (the harmfull one). Carbon dioxide is all around us, we breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide. You can get carbon MONoxide into your system by coming in contact with it. It is a gas which is odourless, tasteless and colourless.

What does densest atmosphere mean?

It means that a planet is mainly composed of carbon dioxide, such as Venus


Does plant breed out carbon dioxide?

If you mean 'breathe' out, then no. They take in carbon dioxide, and with the presence of water, go through photosynthesis and convert it into oxygen and carbohydrates, which they then release into the atmosphere.


What does absorption mean in the carbon cycle?

Absorption in the carbon cycle refers to the process by which carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is taken up by plants through photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. This absorption of carbon by plants helps regulate the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


Does more heat mean more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

The more carbon dioxide the hotter the planet gets. The hotter the planet gets the more wild fires happen. For every fire that occurs more carbon dioxide is released.


How would the amount of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere change if there were no plants and animal?

If there were no plants it is unlikely that there would be any atmosphere at all. Plants remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and are a vital part of the carbon cycle. No plants would mean huge increases of greenhouse gases in the air and a runaway greenhouse effect. Animals on the other hand would make little or no difference to the levels of carbon in the atmosphere.


What does the increase of carbon dioxide in the air mean?

An increase in carbon dioxide in the air contributes to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change. This can result in rising global temperatures, more extreme weather events, and changes to ecosystems worldwide.

Which planet has a low air pressure and is mostly carbon dioxide?

Venus has a dense atmosphere that consists primarily of carbon dioxide. The pressure of the atmosphere on Venus's surface is 90 times that of Earth's atmosphere.MarsMars.Venus and mars have low air pressure and are mostly made up of carbon dioxide
