Sure! Here are the processes that add and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere:

Adds Carbon Dioxide:

  1. Combustion of fossil fuels (e.g., burning coal, oil, and natural gas)
  2. Deforestation (cutting down trees)
  3. Respiration (breathing by animals and humans)
  4. Decomposition (decay of organic matter)
  5. Industrial processes (like cement production)

Removes Carbon Dioxide:

  1. Photosynthesis (plants absorbing CO2 to make food)
  2. Ocean absorption (oceans absorbing atmospheric CO2)
  3. Afforestation (planting new forests)
  4. Soil carbon sequestration (storing carbon in soil)

You can drag and drop the processes into the correct groups based on the descriptions provided.
