Diary Farms add carbon to the atmosphere in a couple of different ways. The first way which a dairy farm releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is through animal flatulence. when animals on a dairy farm such as sheep, or cow are on a diet they fart a lot which releases methane into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, methane and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20). Another way a diary farm releases carbon is when farm vehicles are used on the farm to mow the lawns and transport farm essentials from one place to another, this makes carbon because when fossil fuels are burned during the process of combustion they release Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. Combustion is a chemical reaction between two substances.
The chemical Equation for Combustion is
⬇
CnH2n+2 + O2 ===> CO2 + H2O
