 What is carbon
cycle?
The carbon cycle describes how carbon
moves between the atmosphere, soils, living
creatures, the ocean, and human sources.
The carbon cycle is the process that moves
carbon between plants, animals, and
microbes.
How does the carbon cycle
maintain the content of
carbon dioxide in the air?

Carbon cycle is the cycle that maintains

the content carbon dioxide in the air by
continuously taking carbon dioxide
from the air and returns it back to the
air.
What human activities that
effect the carbon cycle?
Burning fossil fuels
How do they affect the carbon cycle?
Changing land use
They release large amounts of carbon
Land use change affects the structure

and function of the terrestrial
Using limestone to make ecosystem, which causes its change of
concreate carbon storage.

It transfers significant amount of

carbon into the atmosphere
Effects of
changing the How might fishing be
impacting the carbon cycle?
carbon cycle So simply by removing biomass of fish, fishing could be
disrupting this process, reducing its efficiency and
reducing the amount of carbon that's being stored on
the seabed.

Excess in the carbon cycle

The changes in the carbon cycle impact each

reservoir. Excess carbon in the atmosphere warms
the planet and helps plants on land grow more.
Excess carbon in the ocean makes the water more
acidic, putting marine life in danger
