Flashcards on Carbon Dioxide
Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide?
CO2
What are the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions?
Burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes
What are the effects of increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere?
Global warming, climate change, and ocean acidification
How does carbon dioxide contribute to the greenhouse effect?
It traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere
What are some natural sources of carbon dioxide?
Volcanic eruptions, forest fires, and respiration
What are some ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
Using renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and promoting sustainable transportation
What is the role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis?
It is used by plants to produce glucose and oxygen
What is the normal concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere?
Around 0.04% or 400 parts per million
What is the greenhouse effect?
The process by which certain gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere
How does deforestation contribute to increased carbon dioxide levels?
Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Cutting down trees reduces the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed.
What is the main anthropogenic source of carbon dioxide?
Burning of fossil fuels
What are some potential solutions to reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
Implementing carbon capture technology, promoting renewable energy, and adopting sustainable agricultural practices
What is the role of carbon dioxide in the carbon cycle?
It is a key component in the carbon cycle, being exchanged between the atmosphere, oceans, and living organisms
How does carbon dioxide affect ocean acidity?
Carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, forming carbonic acid and decreasing pH levels
What are some natural and human activities that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Volcanic eruptions, combustion of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes
