It depends on the amount driven and the efficiency of the engine. Essentially 85% of the weight of fuel (gasoline or diesel) is carbon so about 750 g of carbon is emitted for each liter burnt.

What role do volcanoes play in emitting carbon dioxide?

They are part of the carbon cycle, and certainly are extremely important over the longest time scales. But in recent geological history volcanic activity has been very quiet, emitting an average of 0.25 gigatons annually (compared to about 35 gigatons emitted by human activity).


Cement work might reduce carbon dioxide why?

The cement work cannot reduce carbon dioxide. In fact, the cement work increases carbon dioxide because carbon dioxide is emitted during the production of cement.

How much carbon dioxide is released during the cutting of a tree?

The only carbon dioxide released by simply cutting the tree is that which is produced by the energy required to cut the tree: the human breathing out carbon dioxide as he swings an axe or uses a saw, the carbon dioxide emitted by a chainsaw's combustion engine, or the carbon dioxide emitted by logging machinery while cutting the tree. Significantly more carbon is emitted afterward as the lumber is transported from the site and as the tree is cut up into smaller pieces, then the smaller pieces are shipped all over. Finally, as the wood biodegrades (or burns), some carbon dioxide will be released.


What two gases are emitted from volcanoes?

Are moths attracted to carbon dioxide?

Yes, moths are attracted to carbon dioxide. They use carbon dioxide as a cue to find food sources, mates, or breeding sites. This is why they are often found around outdoor lights, campfires, or homes where carbon dioxide is emitted.
