Question 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.

Process Moving carbon from the... to the... Example: Ocean Uptake Atmosphere Hydrosphere Decaying of animals and plants Response area Response area Factory and Vehicle Emissions (burning of fossil fuels) Response area Response area Photosynthesis Response area Response area Plant & Animal Respiration

Here’s how to fill in the table for the processes that move carbon between the spheres:

| Process | Moving carbon from the... | to the... | |-------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|-------------------------| | Ocean Uptake | Atmosphere | Hydrosphere | | Decaying of animals and plants | Biosphere/Lithosphere | Atmosphere | | Factory and Vehicle Emissions (burning of fossil fuels) | Lithosphere/Hydrosphere | Atmosphere | | Photosynthesis | Atmosphere | Biosphere | | Plant & Animal Respiration | Biosphere | Atmosphere |
