HERE'S UR ANSWER

The natural carbon cycle is the flow of carbonnaturally throughout across the globe in various forms, such as carbon dioxide or methane. This carbon moves through the atmosphere, ocean, terrestrial biosphere, and lithosphere. The natural carbon cycle is kept very nearly in balance; animals and plants emit CO2 into the atmosphere through respiration, while plants absorb it through photosynthesis. The ocean also cycles CO2 with the atmosphere, in an almost perfect balance. This process cycles carbon rapidly, with a typical molecule of CO2 spending only around 5 years in the atmosphere.

CARBON CYCLE

The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon moves from the atmosphere into the Earth and its organisms and then back again.


All living things are made of carbon. Carbon is also a part of the ocean, air, and even rocks. Because the Earth is a dynamic place, carbon does not stay still. It is on the move!


In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to some oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide.


Plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make their own food and grow. The carbon becomes part of the plant. Plants that die and are buried may turn into fossil fuels made of carbon like coal and oil over millions of years. When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
