Question

What are the relationships of nitrogen and low level ozone to CO2?

Answer 1

Well, nitrogen is a little upset with low level ozone mixing around with CO2, but I think they'll patch things up and maintain their strong bond...

Answer 2

higher levels of CO2 means a rise in the earth's temp...... this causes the green house effect.... which leads to the depletion of the ozone layer...... heat in, but heat can't get out, accumulation of heat - - - >> GLOBAL WARMING............ for the relationship with nitrogen..... i'm not really sure about this..... correct me somebody if i'm wrong..... it has something to do with the weather, specifically lightning.... Lightning is responsible for the release in nitrogen to the ground..... as the earth heats up, the layer of air above the ground becomes dense preventing lightning to strike the ground thus less nitrogen is released and there would be imbalance...... that's that or ther's going to be too much nitrogen.... I learned this in high school and I could only remember some of it.....

Answer 3

20.9% oxygen

1.1% green house gas

78% nitrogen.

There is not a lower level ozone layer. The weather reports it so but it is NO2.

Ozone is created at the very edge of space where the solar winds collide with earth's magnetic field.

They never say anything about how much CO2 is recycled by the plants. If the CO2 was as high as they want U to believe people would be dieing. CO2 is so heavy it will smother a fire.

Answer 4

The cars are not the only things that cause CO2 to the atmosphere Paintball guns produce it also so why are they worried about cars?

Answer 5

Oxides of nitrogen are often created via higher compression engines which may get more energy per pound of CO2.

We can cancel out oxides of nitrogen in a car by using a catalytic converter and just a tiny bit of unburned fuel, which then is burned out by the converter.

We have gone to lower octane rating fuels, and with it lower compression engines, that produce less NOx but use more fuel and produce more CO2.

Diesels have a much higher compression ratio, so tend to produce more nitrogen oxides.

Answer 6

Are you referencing the 'progressive nitrogen limitation hypothesis'?

This eight year study seemed to discount that hypothesis:

http://www.co2science.org/articles/V11/N...

"The hypothesis (Luo et al., 2004) suggests that CO2-induced decreases in soil nitrogen availability "could potentially diminish or eliminate greater plant growth in a CO2-enriched atmosphere, thus constraining the long-term storage of anthropogenic CO2 in terrestrial ecosystems," which hypothesis, if proven to be correct, would not bode well for earth's terrestrial biosphere."

What was discovered:

"One year after adding tracer amounts of 15NH4+ to the forest floor of the young tree stands, the three researchers determined that "both forest communities exposed to elevated CO2 obtained greater amounts of 15N (29%) and N (40%) from soil, despite no change in soil N availability or plant N-use efficiency," which they attributed to greater belowground root growth and a more thorough exploration of the soil for growth-limiting nitrogen in the CO2-enriched treatment. In contrast, they found that the elevated O3 treatment "decreased the amount of 15N (-15%) and N (-29%) in both communities." These decreases, however, were significantly smaller than the corresponding CO2-induced increases."

Answer 7

N2 is a big problem as it composes 78% of the gas in our environment compared to co2 which composes 0.03%.

This means that N2 composes over 2500 times the amount of co2 in the atmosphere!

We must act now to reduce the amount of N2 in the air as if this level gets too high we will all die from lack of oxygen!

If n2 levels increase just 10%, we could see dramatic changes in the climate, and none of them would be good!

Answer 8

None really, except perhaps that the more CO2 a car is putting out the more nitric oxides it is likely to be putting out as well leading to more ground level ozone.
