The primary control of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere is the balance between natural processes such as photosynthesis and respiration, as well as human activities like fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. Oceans also play a significant role by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. Additionally, geological processes, including volcanic eruptions and the weathering of rocks, contribute to the carbon cycle. Overall, the interplay between these natural and anthropogenic factors determines atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
What else can I help you with?
What is Venus' major gasses?
Venus' atmosphere is primarily composed of carbon dioxide (96.5%) with traces of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide.
Which increases the amount carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Respiration :)
Which increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Respiration :)
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon course?
respiration
What generalization can you make about the relationship of temperature to the amount of carbon dioxide in the air?
The more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the higher the temperature.
What does a carbon footprint refer to?
The amount of carbon dioxide a person produces
What is happening to Earth's carbon dioxide?
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasingly drastically, attributed primarily to human activities.
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as carbon dioxide?
Respiration :)
Where does carbon dioxide primarily come from?
oceans
If you burn plants where does the carbon primarily go to?
Into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Is car exhaust primarily composed of carbon dioxide?
No, car exhaust is primarily composed of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons, with smaller amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.
Carbon is stored in the atmosphere in the form of what molecule?
Carbon is stored in the atmosphere primarily as carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule.
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Will the amount carbon dioxide the atmosphere soon be greater than the Amount of oxygen?
No, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere is much greater than the amount of carbon dioxide. The current levels of carbon dioxide are approximately 0.04% of the atmosphere, while oxygen levels are around 21%.
Why there is difference in the amount of carbon dioxide you inhale and exhale?
The amount of carbon dioxide exhaled is always greater than the amount inhaled because part of the oxygen inhaled is converted into carbon dioxide by metabolic processes of digestion, while any carbon dioxide inhaled remains unchanged in the body and is always exhaled again.
Where do plants primarily obtain the majority of their carbon from?
Plants primarily obtain the majority of their carbon from carbon dioxide in the air through the process of photosynthesis.
What is the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in the plasma?
The amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in the plasma is typically around 1.2-2.0 millimoles per liter.
