Carbon cycle, how does it work?

- Through photosynthesis, plants transform atmospheric CO2, water,
organic matter (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids), from
which live animals feed through the food chains, where it be comes part
of the Body of these living beings.

Then the Carbon is returned to the environment:

- Through the breathing process: During respiration, animals and plants

consume organic matter and returnCO2 to the atmosphere or water.

- By combustion processes: Carbon is incorporated into the atmosphere

through the combustion processes that generate in forest fires, volcanic
activity and the use of oil, natural gas or coal, in industrial activities,
transport and households.

- By decomposition: There mains of animals and plants are decomposed

by bacteria. In this process, CO2 is released into the atmosphere or
water, where it is used again by plants.

This begins another cycle.

chemical reactions made on this cycle.

d) How the concentration of CO2 has increased

in the atmosphere and what have caused it.
Increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), which heats the
lower atmosphere and produces what is generally known as climate
change, also affects the upper layers of the atmosphere. The SABER
instrument, TIMED satellite board (NASA), measured between 2002 and
2014 increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the high atmosphere by
5% and 12% per decade, higher than that detected in the Low

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is among the three most important gases the
one that has increased its concentration, a rhythm that is not observed
in almost 30 years. Amount of CO2 absorbed by the Earth's biosphere,
coupled with the constant in crease of its emissions.

Between 2000 and 2006, human activities such as burning fossil fuels,
cement manufacturing, and tropical deforestation have experience
annual growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is the highest
since "The novelty of the study is the demonstration of the weakening of
terrestrial and oceanic soils of CO2 is contributing to the accelerated
growth of atmospheric CO2," explains Chris Field, director of the
Department of Global Ecology at the Carnegie Institute. Changes in wind
pattern solver the Southern Ocean, the results of anthropogenic global
warming, have caused the carbon-rich river to flow to the surface,
reducing the ocean's ability to absorb excess carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere. One earth, where plant grow this the key mechanism to
remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, large droughts have
reduced carbons quest ration. The burning of fossil fuels and the cement
manufacturing process emitted an average of 7.6 billion tons annually
between 2000 and 2006, 35 percent above 1990 emissions. The Earth
experiences a remark able in crease in the atmospheric concentration of
CO2

The emission of gases to the atmosphere generates an irreversible

damage to the ozone layer and contributes in a signify an way in the
elevation of the temperature of the planet, the situation that has begun
to take on a special importance to treat the global warming and the
direct consequences that Already be foreseen. The plants absorb a part
of the co2 that hay in the planet but as there is less vegetation since it is
remarkable the in crease of this gas and there for have a mayor heating
and this generates in addition to the previous problems the wear of This
layer so important that it protects the solar rays (ultraviolet) also the
climatic change and the destruction of the ozone layer are very serious
environmental problems that alter the stability of the ecosystems and
they affect the human social structure.

e) Effects of the increase.

The plants of the earth and the sea have collected about 55 percent of
the extra carbon that people have put into the atmosphere, while 45
percent has remained in the atmosphere. Over time, the earth and
oceans collect most of the extra carbon dioxide, but up to 20 percent
can remain in the atmosphere for thousands of years.

The impact of changes in the carbon cycle of each reservoir: Excess

carbon in the atmosphere warms the planet and helps plants on the
ground grow more. Excess carbon in the ocean makes water more acidic,
endangering marine life. Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of the
Earth's green house effect, the amount of water vapor about 50 percent,
and clouds 25 percent. Increased concentrations of carbon dioxide are
already causing the planet to become hot. At the same time that
greenhouse gases have increased, global average temperature shaver is
envy 0.8 degrees Celsius (1.4 degrees Fahrenheit) since 1880. Earth
plants have absorbed approximately 25 percent of the carbon dioxide
that human Humans have put in to the atmosphere. The amount of
carbon that plants take varies greatly from year to year, but in general,
the world's plants have increased the amount of carbon dioxide they
absorb since 1960. Only part of this increase came as a direct result of
emissions from fossil fuels. In the tropics, however, forests are being
cleared, often by fire, and this releases carbon dioxide.

The biggest changes in the carbon cycle of the earth are likely to come
because of climate change. Carbon dioxide raises the temperature,
which extends the growing season and increasing humidity. Dried, with
water short ages, plants are more susceptible to fires and insects in the
longer growing seasons. In the extreme north, where a rise in
temperature has a greater impact, forests have already begun to burn
more, releasing carbon from plants and soil to the atmosphere. Tropical
forests can also be very susceptible to desiccation. With less water,
tropical trees will slow their growth and absorb less carbon, or they will
die and release their stored carbon in to the atmosphere.

f) Chemical reactions that interfere in the global

warming.
The main cause of the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is produced by a chemical reaction called combustion

designed to generate energy by burning fuel in the presence of oxygen.
Another gas is methane that is produced by the decomposition of
organic matter, specifically garbage. It is also generated in the
excrement.

g) Proposal and personal posture about the

actions thats should be done about the global
warming.
-Waste. Promote waste separation and recycling.

-Nature Respect protected areas and minimize impact on natural areas.

-Chemical products. Minimize the use of chemical compounds such as

antibiotics, fertilizers and aerosols.
-Materials. Reuse them when ever possible.

-Transport. Reduce the individual and promote collective mediums.

We thing another action to prevent or help prevent global warming is to

start with ourselves, take action to help and spread your ideas with
people you know. The importance is that you are aware of the
consequences of this, and that after knowing that, help from simple
actions.
