Apes Carbon Cycle

What is the effect of deforestation on the carbon cycle?

• Increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere

• Decrease in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere

• Increase in the amount of photosynthesis

• Deforestation has no impact on the carbon cycle

When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the carbon quickly enters the                       as carbon dioxide.

• Water

• Atmosphere

• Sun

• Air

Why is the ocean important to the carbon cycle?

• It keeps sediment containing carbon underwater for millions of years

• The ocean gives out more carbon then it takes in (increases global warming)

• The ocean isn't important to the carbon cycle.

What is happening at 1?

• respiration: releasing CO2

• decomposing CO2 in the soil

• photosynthesis: absorbing CO2

• turning CO2 from the atmosphere into organic molecules
