Carbon cycle

Definiation of carbon cylce

Carbon cycle is the circulation of carbon on earth, where CO₂ convert to organic nutrients (photosynthesis), then convert back to inorganic state (by respiration, combustion, decay)

example of carbon movement (atmosphere to bio)

photosynthesis consume CO₂ →produce organic molecules
→passes between organisms along foodchains

atmosphere → hydrosphere carbon movement

ocean absorbs CO₂ → carbonic acid
→acidifies ocean

Lithosphere→atmosphere

combustion of fossil fuels→CO₂

Human impact deforestation

burning ↑ CO₂ → less cabron storage cus trees are gone

human impact tilling soil+draining water

↓ storage for carbon

human impact oceans

↑ CO₂ =oceans absorb more CO₂ → more carbonic acid and less coral

4 ways to reduce emissions

enhance electric grid to support renewables
lower price of electric vehicles
encourage business+consumers to lower emissions
