Excessive carbon in the atmosphere, primarily in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), leads to climate change by trapping heat and disrupting global weather patterns. This can result in extreme weather events, altered ecosystems, and loss of biodiversity as species struggle to adapt to rapidly changing conditions. Additionally, increased CO2 levels can lead to ocean acidification, harming marine life and disrupting food chains. Overall, too much carbon threatens the stability and health of the biosphere.
What else can I help you with?
What feature contributes strongly to the greenhouse effect on Venus?
the main reason is because of so much carbon dioxide co2.
Are the geosphere and biosphere the same?
No, the geosphere and biosphere are not the same. The geosphere refers to the solid part of the Earth, including rocks, minerals, and landforms, while the biosphere refers to all the living organisms on Earth and their interactions with each other and the environment.
How is the earth's greenhouse effect good for the earth?
The normal, natural greenhouse effect is good for the earth. The earth's carbon and water cycles move carbon dioxide and water vapour in and out of the atmosphere. This supports the greenhouse effect which keeps the earth warm (about 13 degrees Celsius on average) and has done for millions of years. If there was no greenhouse effect we would all freeze to death.The accelerated greenhouse effect is what is happening now because of all the extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for industry, transport and to generate electricity. And also because we have cut down so many trees that used to soak the carbon out of the air. This is causing unbalance to the earth's carbon cycle and is causing global warming and climate change. So the enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is bad for the earth.
What are two things a scientist might ask about the movement of carbon dioxide through a whale and its surroundings?
A scientist might ask through what process the whale obtains the carbon dioxide. Additionally a scientist might ask what effect the carbon dioxide would have on the surrounding environment.
Water and carbon dioxide are they the two largest contributors to Earth's greenhouse effect and are largely responsible for Earth's climate?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide are indeed significant greenhouse gases, contributing to the Earth's greenhouse effect and influencing the climate. Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas, but carbon dioxide has a longer atmospheric lifetime and can have a more sustained impact on the climate system due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels.
What is the beautiful effect of the greenhouse effect?
The beautiful effect of the greenhouse effect is that it keeps us warm. The natural greenhouse effect is supported by the water and carbon cycles moving water and carbon in and out of the atmosphere, in balance. Without this natural effect the earth would be much colder, probably frozen, and we couldn't survive.
How is biosphere useful to man?
Man is a biological organism (as are women as well) and as such, needs to eat, to breathe, and to have a place to live; these things are made possible by the biosphere. If we compare the Earth to, for example, the Moon, which has no biosphere, we see that it would be much harder to live there. We would have to create our own artificial biosphere or habitat, in order to live on the Moon.
Why are the biosphere and atmosphere especially important for mankind?
The biosphere and atmosphere are especially important for mankind because we are part of the biosphere and we depend on the atmosphere to sustain ourselves and much of the biosphere.
Why is it important for the earth to have some carbon dioxide in its atmosphere?
The natural greenhouse effect (helped by carbon dioxide) keeps the earth warm.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (from too much carbon dioxide) is causing global warming.
What would happen if the biosphere stopped interacting with the atmosphere?
Well, considering Earth is a living organism there would be no earth so there is really no point the question your asking. Plus it doesn't much matter because we'd all be dead. So we wouldn't even know that there were no living organisms left on the Earth, we'd be dead.

How much is it to go to the Biosphere?

What is the point of carbon dioxide on earth?
Green plants use carbon dioxide as part of the process of photosynthesis. In addition, while we are presently concerned that too much carbon dioxide is resulting in too much greenhouse effect and global warming, it is equally true that too little carbon dioxide would result in global cooling. A certain amount of carbon dioxide is helpful in maintaining the kind of temperature range that we want.
What feature contributes strongly to the greenhouse effect on Venus?
the main reason is because of so much carbon dioxide co2.
How much cooler in degrees Fahrenheit would the earth be right now if there were no greenhouse gases?
"Greenhouse gases" include carbon dioxide, and it is likely the Earth would be much cooler without the comparatively tiny percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere. It would also be devoid of almost all current lifeforms, since plants in the biosphere require CO2 to survive. NASA estimates that natural global warming (not influenced by the manmade additional warmng) keeps the average surface temperature of the planet at 288K (15°C or 59°F). Without this greenhouse effect, the average surface temperature would be 255°K (-18°C or 0°F) -- in effect, all water on Earth would freeze, the oceans would turn into ice, and life as we know it would not exist.
How does the atmosphere and biosphere?
the biosphere is everything where organisms live so pretty much all of earth and atmosphere is a layer of gasses surrounding the earth
Are the geosphere and biosphere the same?
No, the geosphere and biosphere are not the same. The geosphere refers to the solid part of the Earth, including rocks, minerals, and landforms, while the biosphere refers to all the living organisms on Earth and their interactions with each other and the environment.
