Generally, groundwater tends to contain more dissolved carbon dioxide than surface water. This is because groundwater often has more contact with soil and organic materials, where carbon dioxide is produced through decomposition and microbial activity. Surface water, on the other hand, is more exposed to the atmosphere, allowing for gas exchange that can reduce its carbon dioxide concentration. However, specific levels can vary based on local environmental conditions.

How does ground level carbon dioxide reach the ozone layer?

Ground level carbon dioxide does not reach the ozone layer because the ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, around 10-50 kilometers above the Earth's surface, while carbon dioxide is typically found in the lower troposphere. The transport of carbon dioxide from the surface to the stratosphere is primarily through diffusion and large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns, not direct vertical movement from the ground.


What caused a reduction to carbon dioxide?

Reduction in carbon dioxide levels can be caused by increased photosynthesis from plants, as they use carbon dioxide to produce oxygen. It can also be a result of carbon sequestration practices that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the ground or oceans. Additionally, decreased human activities like burning fossil fuels can lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.

What is a human's carbon footprint?

A human footprint is what a person leaves behind when he or she walks in a soft surface such as mud, wet sand, or tracks mud or dirt onto another surface. It is created by the foot touching the ground and pressing into the soft surface.


Does a plant have to be in the ground to perform photosynthesis?

No, a plant does not have to be in the ground to perform photosynthesis. As long as a plant has access to sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, it can carry out photosynthesis. Plants can photosynthesize when they are in pots, hanging baskets, or other containers above ground.


Why carbon di oxide should be remove from water immediately?

Since excess carbon dioxide, if present in water, easily escapes to the atmosphere, tests for carbon dioxide should be performed immediately after collection of water sample (especially for ground water samples which usually contain high carbon dioxide).


Why is exhaled air more dense than helium?

Helium is a relatively light gas which is lighter than air at ground level. Exhaled air contains a lot of water vapour and carbon dioxide relative to normal air. Since ground level air is less dense than helium, adding water vapour and carbon dioxide makes exhaled air even more heavier than helium.


Why does the soil air contain more carbon dioxide than atmospheric air?

ground water contains more zooplanktons than phytoplanktons this zooplanktons releases co2 during respiration


What materials are products of photosynthesis a oxygen and glucose b oxygen and carbon dioxide c carbon dioxide and water or d water and oxygen?

Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide and uses sunlight to split it into carbon and oxygen, releasing the oxygen into the air, and combining the carbon with water from the ground to create glucose.


What causes carbon dioxide to accumulate in the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities release vast amounts of carbon dioxide that would otherwise be stored in the ground, leading to an increase in atmospheric levels of this greenhouse gas.


Can a vinegar and baking soda reaction in a bottle produce enough carbon dioxide to float a ping ball ball in the air?

No. Carbon Dioxide is heavier than air and the ping pong ball would drop to the ground.


Where does most of the atmosphere oxygen come from?

From plant life. Animals including humans exhale carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas and fall to the ground. Whereupon it is absorbed by plant life. Under the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide in the plant is broken down into carbon and oxygen. The carbon is retained in the plant as biomass, and the oxygen is released back into the atmosphere, for animals to breathe. It is all part of the oxygen/carbon cycle.
