Let’s double-check and break it down again to ensure clarity:
-
Decaying of animals and plants: When animals and plants decompose, carbon is released into the Lithosphere (soil, sediments).
- Moving carbon from the: Biosphere | to the: Lithosphere
-
Factory and vehicle emissions (burning of fossil fuel): When fossil fuels are burned, carbon is released into the Atmosphere from the Lithosphere.
- Moving carbon from the: Lithosphere | to the: Atmosphere
-
Photosynthesis: During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the Atmosphere and use it to produce energy, thus moving carbon to the Biosphere.
- Moving carbon from the: Atmosphere | to the: Biosphere
-
Plant and animal respiration: During respiration, plants and animals release carbon dioxide back into the Atmosphere.
- Moving carbon from the: Biosphere | to the: Atmosphere
Putting it all together in a revised table:
| Process | Moving carbon from the... | to the... |
|----------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------|----------------|
| Example: ocean uptake | Atmosphere | Hydrosphere |
| Decaying of animals and plants | Biosphere | Lithosphere |
| Factory and vehicle emissions (burning of fossil fuel) | Lithosphere | Atmosphere |
| Photosynthesis | Atmosphere | Biosphere |
| Plant and animal respiration | Biosphere | Atmosphere |
