Some processes cycle carbon into the atmosphere, some processes remove carbon from the atmosphere and some cycle carbon both into and out of the atmosphere. Drag and drop the following processes into the correct category of cycling carbon into or out of the atmosphere. Some choices may be used more than once or not at all.

Sure! Here’s how the processes can be categorized:

Cycle carbon into the atmosphere:

  • respiration
  • burning fossil fuel

Cycle carbon out of the atmosphere:

  • photosynthesis
  • limestone formation

Processes that may not fit strictly into one category or can cycle both ways:

  • equilibrium with the ocean (this is more complex as it involves carbon exchange between the atmosphere and ocean, but it typically relates to cycling both ways).
