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.

Answer 1

Here's how the processes in the Carbon Cycle move carbon between the different spheres.

1. Decaying of animals and plants

   • Moving carbon from the: biosphere
   • to the: lithosphere

2. Factory and Vehicle Emissions (burning of fossil fuels)

   • Moving carbon from the: lithosphere
   • to the: atmosphere

3. Photosynthesis

   • Moving carbon from the: atmosphere
   • to the: biosphere

4. Plant & Animal Respiration

   • Moving carbon from the: biosphere
   • to the: atmosphere
