The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by whichcarbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth.

The geosphere also plays a major role in the carbon cycle. Several processes move carbon from thegeosphere to the atmosphere. Volcanic eruptions release carbon dioxide from molten rock beneath the earth's surface. ... Burning fossil fuels like gasoline, diesel and coal releases carbon into the atmosphere.

Carbon is an element and is part of the oceans, air, rocks, soils and living things, it does not stay in one place.

In the atmosphere, it combines with oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2). With the help of the sun, through photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is extracted from the air and converted into food.

Through food chains, carbon from plants goes to the animals that feed on them. Animals that eat other animals also obtain carbon through their food.

When plants and animals die, their bodies, wood, and leaves decompose in the soil. Part of the decomposed matter is buried and after millions and millions of years, it becomes fossil fuel.

Each time you breathe out, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. Animals and plants get rid of the gas through the process known as respiration.

The carbon from fossil fuels goes into the atmosphere when the fuel is burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power their factories, power plants, cars, and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide gas. Every year, five and a half billion tons of carbon are released in the form of fossil fuels burned. Of the large amount of carbon released by fuels, only 3.3 billion tons penetrate the atmosphere, and most of the rest is dissolved in the seawater.

The oceans and other bodies of water absorb some of the carbon from the atmosphere. It dissolves in water. Marine animals use carbon to create the material for their skeletons and shells.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere. When carbon is deposited on the seabed, it is stored outside the carbon cycle for long periods of time. The amount of limestone deposited in the ocean depends in some way on the amount of shallow, tropical and warm oceans on the planet, because that is where limestone-producing organisms, such as corals, proliferate. Carbon can be released back into the atmosphere if the limestone melts or undergoes metamorphosis in a subduction zone.

Clara wrote the following hypothesis for an experiment about acidophilic bacteria. bacteria cells will stop dividing in a basic (alkaline) environment because of the high ph. which statement is the best way to restate the hypothesis so that it is more specific? growing acidophilic bacteria in some environments will cause the cells to stop dividing because of ph. if the ph of their environment is changed, acidophilic bacterial cell division will be affected. if the environment of acidophilic bacterial cells becomes alkaline, the bacteria will stop dividing. the more alkaline an environment, the less cell division will occur in bacteria.
