Instructions

Models can give you important information even if they don’t have many words in them! Please use your carbon cycle model and think critically to answer the following questions.

Required

Describe how carbon moves from the atmosphere into the biosphere. What processes facilitate this transfer, and what role do plants play in this process?

Required

Explain the significance of the oceans in the carbon cycle. How do they interact with carbon in both the atmosphere and the geosphere?

Required

Discuss the impact of human activities on the carbon cycle. Identify specific actions that increase carbon levels in the atmosphere and their potential effects on the climate.

Required

Analyze the role of decomposition in the carbon cycle. How does this process connect the biosphere and geosphere, and what are the implications for soil health and nutrient cycling?

Required

If a volcano erupts (geosphere) how does that affect the Atmosphere and its carbon?

Required

What is the difference between a carbon source and a carbon sink?

Required

Give 2 examples of a carbon source and 2 examples of a carbon sink.
