Carbon dioxide is the main pollutant that warms our planet Earth. Living things produce carbon dioxide when they breathe. However‚ carbon dioxide is considered to be a harmful pollutant when linked with any vehicle‚ trains‚ power plants‚ as well as other various human activities that involve burning fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas. Studies have shown that In the past 150 years‚ such activities have released enough carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to raise its levels higher than they

destructive nature. I will start by describing the carbon cycle and how elements of my lifestyle impact the cycle. Photosynthesis converts the Carbon dioxide gas that exists in the atmosphere and in dissolved water to organic carbon. Organic carbon is brought back into carbon dioxide gas by a process called respiration. There are sources of organic carbon underground in the form of fossil fuels‚ human emissions and volcanic activity brings the stored carbon back into the cycle. As a human being who feed

To do this‚ numerators and denominators must be fully factorised first. If there are fractions within the numerator/denominator‚ multiply by a common factor to get rid of these and create an equivalent fraction:

one form. Carbon is one of the elements that contain many allotropes. Each allotrope of carbon has its own different properties. The allotropes of carbon are diamond‚ graphite‚ fullerenes‚ carbon nanotubes‚ carbon nanobuds‚ amorphous carbon‚ glassy carbon‚ lonsdaleite‚ and carbon nanofoam. Diamond is the best know allotrope of carbon. It is the hardest known natural mineral which makes it very rough. In the structure of the diamond‚ each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms and
