The Carbon Cycle is an example of how materials move through the 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.

Some answer choices may be used more than once, only once, or not at all.
