CHEMISTRY - CARBON CYCLE

( IN THE ENVIRONMENT )

BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF CARBON CYCLE

All living things are made up of carbonCarbon always around us in the atmosphere Carbon is also a part of the ocean, air, and even rock

cars animals plants ocean

fuels fossils rocks

INTRODUCTION OF CARBON CYCLE

In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to some oxygen and the gas called carbon dioxide

They are in our body also as carbon dioxide

Plants take carbon dioxide in the air and sunlight to make their food through photosynthesis

INTRODUCTION OF CARBON CYCLE

INTRODUCTION OF CARBON CYCLEHuman and animals eat the plants for food, the we

store the carbon inside our bodies and animals use the carbon to grow

CARBON CYCLE

All living things breathe, when we breathe out, some of carbon dioxide released back into the air as carbon dioxide

INTRODUCTION OF CARBON CYCLE

When plants and animals die, most of the stored carbon goes back into the soil

INTRODUCTION OF CARBON CYCLE

Then over millions of years, the trapped carbon changes to coal and fossil fuels like, oil, petrol and diesel

The carbon cycle happens in ocean too, the ocean floor has such huge amount of carbon stored in it and it is called a carbon sink
