What are three things that put carbon dioxide into the air by burning?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)Burning trees (half a tree is carbon)Burning any garbage (most things on earth have large amounts of carbon in them)
What are the effects of combustion and deforestation and how do they relate to the greenhouse effect?
Combustion (burning) of any material usually releases carbon dioxide, as carbon is such a major component of everything on earth. Deforestation (removal of trees) means that the trees are no longer able to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases retaining warmth from the sun. Any increase of greenhouse gases (as carbon dioxide is) leads to a warming in the atmosphere.
Which processes transfer carbon into the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels and deforestation are the main processes that transfer carbon into the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the air, while deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.
What effects do humans and pollution have on trees?
Humans can actually help trees because we breathe out Carbon dioxide when trees take in but when we cut down trees then we kill it.
How do muck fires damage trees?
Muck fires damage trees by coating the trees with soot or by directly burning them. This limits their ability to absorb light and carbon dioxide.
Why is the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide less than the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning of fossil fuels?
The oceans and vegetation absorb a significant amount of the carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning fossil fuels, which reduces the overall increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, this absorption capacity is limited, and the excess carbon dioxide that remains in the atmosphere contributes to global warming and climate change.
What will burning trees in a forest or gasoline in car will do to the atmosphere?
Burning trees in a forest or gasoline in a car releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change. These emissions can lead to air pollution, respiratory problems, and other health issues, as well as negatively affecting ecosystems and biodiversity.
What process in the transperancy release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
The process of deforestation, where trees are cut down and burned or left to decay, releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is because trees store carbon in their biomass, and when they are removed, this carbon is released back into the air through decay or burning.
Why does cutting down trees increase carbon dioxide?
Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide.
What are the effects of burning trees?
Burning trees releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. It also destroys habitats for wildlife, reduces biodiversity, and can lead to soil erosion and degradation. Additionally, it can impact air quality and human health due to the release of air pollutants.
How could cutting down trees lead to the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. When trees are cut down and not replaced, this carbon dioxide is no longer absorbed, leading to an increase in its levels in the atmosphere. Additionally, when trees are burnt or decompose, the stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Does global warming have anything to do with trees?
Trees remove carbon dioxide from the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Deforestation means that there are no longer enough trees to remove the excess carbon from our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
