Question

What are two processes that naturally increase and decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in

Answer 1

Carbon dioxide is absorbed and emitted naturally through carbon cycle in the atmosphere

Explanation:

Natural process that lead to the increase of carbon in the atmosphere

• When plants and animals respirate carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere in a natural manner.
• Similarly, Volcanic eruptions,forest fires are some of the natural process that increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Natural process that lead to the decrease of carbon in the atmosphere are

• Photosynthesis is one way through which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and replaces it with oxygen-so planting more trees reduces the level of carbon in the atmosphere.
• Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere as it get  dissolved in the water surface  and forms carbonic acid
