The carbon cycle diagram shows how carbon moves between Earth's different parts. In the ground (lithosphere), decaying plants and animals release carbon into the soil. Plants (biosphere) take up this carbon and produce oxygen through photosynthesis, while animals breathe out carbon dioxide into the air (atmosphere). The oceans (hydrosphere) also absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making it a key part of the cycle. Arrows in the diagram show how all these processes are connected.
In three to five sentences, describe how the diagram of Earth’s carbon cycle demonstrates the interactions among the biosphere (plants), the lithosphere (ground), the atmosphere (air), and the hydrosphere (water).
Carbon cycle shows the movement of carbon through Earth's spheres. The bottom page has dirt with decaying organisms, root respiration, and mineral carbon labeled. On top of that layer is plant, grass and animal layer with organic carbon labeled. There is a water layer labeled ocean uptake. Finally there is an atmosphere layer labeled with animal resiration, plant respiration, factory and vehicle emissions and photosynthesis. In the top left corner is the sun. An set of arrows form a circle through the image. It begins at the bottom with dead organisms and waste products. The next arrow moves up past the factory and into the atmosphere and is labled carbon dioxide and then rejoins the bottom arrow at dead organisms and waste products.
