1. What is the Carbon Cycle?

The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon moves between the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. It’s essential for life on Earth.

2. Main Steps in the Carbon Cycle

• Photosynthesis: Plants use carbon dioxide to make food.
• Respiration: Animals and plants release carbon dioxide.
• Decomposition: Carbon returns to the soil from dead organisms.
• Combustion: Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide.
• Ocean Uptake: Oceans absorb and store carbon from the air.

3. Why Is the Carbon Cycle Important?

It regulates Earth’s climate by controlling carbon dioxide levels. Too much carbon leads to global warming and climate change.

4. Human Impact

Burning fossil fuels and deforestation increase carbon in the atmosphere. We must reduce emissions to keep balance in the cycle.
