OCEANIC CYCLE
The oceanic cycle is....
composed of processes that exchange carbon in various pools whithen the ocean.
How does the plants help the carbon cycle?
photosynthesis helps maintain the carbon cycle by creating carbon from photosynthesis.
How do human activities effect the carbon cycle?
The burning of fossil fuels.
photosynthesis
the process in witch plants make food out of sunlight

how does CO2 get in the ocean?
carbon dissolves in the surface waters of the ocean
What is the terrestrial cycle's reservoir?
The atmosphere.
Why is the carbon cycle so important to humans?
Carbon is cycled through Earth's oceans, atmosphere, ecosystem and Geo sphere. So, it is a fundamental building block within all living things.
Oceanic cycle
The dissolving of carbon on the surface of the water.
Carbon takes up what percent of weight of living organisms?
20%
What role does the sun play in the oceanic cycle?
The sun is what makes the cycle work. Providing sunlight to power the cycle.
What is carbon used for in a plants life cycle?
during photosynthesis the plants transform carbon into carbohydrates.
The Earth as we know it would be in danger of itself being disrupted.
Terrestrial cycle (Biosphere)
Carbon released by plant respiration, soil respiration, and disturbance processes. (fire, insect attack, wind throw etc.)
If you crush carbon into a hard density, what would it become?
Diamond
How does the ocean release carbon?
When the carbon dissolves, it turns into a gas and is released into the atmosphere.
How do animals obtain carbon in the Terrestrial cycle?
The animals must eat plants in order to obtain carbon.
How does humans obtain carbon?
By eating plants and/or animals that also eat plants.
Human cycle
The use of direct emissions from the burning of fossil fuels.
How much does carbon take up in the lithosphere?
0.032
How does the carbon cycle effect the ocean?
The oceans influence the climates by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide.
How does animals play a role in the terrestrial carbon cycle?
Decomposers such as microbes or fungi, release carbon as they decompose.
The main way to decrease the amount of carbon in the atmosphere is to burn less fossil fuels.
Carbon cycle
a series of processes by which carbon compounds are introverted into the environment.
