There are several that remove carbon dioxide
- photosynthesis
- the dissolving of the CO2 into ocean water
- formation of coral and crustacean shell
- precipitation as carbonate compounds.
- combustion of fuels
- aerobic decomposition or fermentation
- volcanos
- deforestation
- warmer oceans
- desertification
- conversion of forest and farmland to urban areas.

How are we changing the balance of the gases in our atmosphere today?
We are adding more and more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is causing global warming and climate change.
A volcanic eruption can affect the atmosphere by?
adding large quantities of several gases, such as sulfur dioxide, to the atmosphere as well as volcanic ash and dust.
Is smoke carbon dioxide?
Yes, the earth's carbon cycle moves carbon, and carbon dioxide in and out of the atmosphere. Carbon is released from rotting vegetation, rotting trees, melting tundra and lake beds, aerobic (with oxygen) decomposition of landfills, and from the breath of living creatures. It also moves in and out of the surface of the oceans. Trees and vegetation usually absorb carbon, but some carbon is emitted at night.
How does carbon and the atmosphere interact?
The carbon cycle moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere, the land, plants and animals, and the oceans. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a greenhouse gas that keeps the planet warm. Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, from humans adding it by burning fossil fuels, is causing an accelerated greenhouse effect, global warming.
What is the role of the atmosphere in the carbon cycle?
Nature produces the vast bulk of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Rotting trees, and dead matter produce over 90% of the current levels of carbon dioxide. Man produces between 3 and 6 percent of all CO2 annually.
How are people adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere's?
People are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. I believe
What will happen to the temperature of the atmosphere after you stop adding carbon dioxide into the air?
we will all die :)
Does adding more carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere cause the temperature to rise?
yes
Scientists who are concerned about increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere believe global warming is caused by?
... the burning of fossil fuels, which is adding extra carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Is bubbles in lemonade physical?
Bubbles in refreshing drinks have three origins: 1. Fermentation of sugars: a chemical process 2. Dissolving of air from the atmosphere after a vigourous stirring: a physical process 3. Adding carbon dioxide under pressure: a physical process

What happens to the thickness of the atmosphere when we burn coal?
It becomes thicker because you are adding carbon dioxide which is denser than air. Also, you are adding ash and other tiny particles.
Why is it important to be concerned about pollution and carbon dioxide?
It is important to worry about it, because carbon dioxide is a powerful greenhouse gas that is adding to the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere and contributing to global warming.

What processes are adding too much carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
