Carbon Dioxide & Methane Flashcards
1
Q
Formation of Carbon Dioxide
A
- Respiration
- Reaction of acid + carbonate
- Complete combustion of carbon
- Limestone thermal decomposition
2
Q
Greenhouse Gases
A
- Carbon Dioxide
- Methane
- Carbon Monoxide
- Oxides of Nitrogen
- Causes global warming
3
Q
Carbon Cycle
A
- Plants absorb carbon through photosynthesis
- Plants die -> decompose or burned for fossil fuel-> CO2 back into atmosphere
- Plants get consumed -> Consumer respirates, die or poop -> CO2 back into atmosphere through decomposition or respiration
