Question

the carbon cycle is an example of how materials move through spheres. the diagram below shows how carbon (in the form of CO2 a gas) moves from the atmosphere to the biosphere/lithosphere/hydrosphere and back into the atmosphere. use the answer choices below to fill in the table to show how a process moves carbon from one sphere to another

Answer 1

Sure! While I don't have access to the diagram you're referring to, I can provide a general overview of processes that move carbon through different spheres. Below is a typical representation of how carbon moves within the carbon cycle and examples of processes involved:

| Process | From Sphere | To Sphere |
|-------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------|
| Photosynthesis | Atmosphere | Biosphere |
| Respiration | Biosphere | Atmosphere |
| Decomposition | Biosphere | Lithosphere |
| Combustion | Biosphere/Lithosphere | Atmosphere |
| Weathering | Lithosphere | Hydrosphere |
| Dissolution | Atmosphere/Hydrosphere | Lithosphere |
| Volcanic Activity | Lithosphere | Atmosphere |
| Ocean Uptake | Atmosphere | Hydrosphere |
| Ocean Release | Hydrosphere | Atmosphere |

Feel free to adjust specific processes or adapt the table according to the details of your diagram. If you have more specific processes or options you'd like to include, let me know!
