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.

Answer 1

Here's the completed table with the correct placements of processes and their corresponding carbon movements:

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