Describe the carbon cycle.
The carbon cycle is the movement of carbon through the environment. Carbon exists in everything and is the building block of life and is an important part of many chemical processes.
Carbon exists in the form of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make food. They store this carbon in their stems, leaves, and fruit.
Animals eat the carbon in plants and once they die, they decompose and become a part of the Earth.
When a plant or animal dies, carbon enters Earth and sometimes turns into Fossil Fuels. Fossil Fuels are then burned by humans and the carbon once in plants and animals is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
