The Carbon Cycle

Climate and the Carbon Cycle: Unit Overview carbon cycle

The long-term carbon cycle operates over millions of years and involves the exchange of carbon between rocks and the Earth's surface

carbon cycle When oxygen is present, aerobic respiration occurs, which releases carbon dioxide into the surrounding air or water Otherwise, anaerobic respiration occurs and The global carbon cycle includes the mechanical, chemical, and biological processes that transfer carbon among these reservoirs More carbon Decomposers break down the dead organisms and return the carbon in their bodies to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide by respiration In some conditions,
