The Carbon Cycle is important because

• it moves carbon from the atmosphere and back to the ocean

• It allows it to destroy carbon to regulate the tempurature

• It regulates the Earth's temperature by storing carbon for different periods of time

• It allows for the catalyst to ignite the Tempuran cycle
