B) How does the carbon stored in the bodies of living organisms move into the atmosphere? (1 point)
During respiration, living organisms release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Through combustion or burning of fossil fuels, carbon stored in them is released into the atmosphere.
Decomposers break down dead organisms and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Volcanic eruptions can release carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere.
A) How does the carbon stored in the bodies of living organisms move into rocks? (1 point)
Carbon dioxide dissolves in ocean water and is slowly absorbed by rocks in the ocean.
Living organisms decay and become fossils fuels, which eventually become rocks.
Carbon dioxide released through respiration dissolves in certain rocks, like limestone.
Living organisms decay, releasing carbon into the soil, and soil is compacted into rocks.
