High Five Facts - Carbon Cycle Choca Esos Cinco - Ciclo Del Carbono

The video explains the carbon cycle, highlighting its importance in balancing carbon on Earth. It covers the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and living organisms, the role of carbon dioxide in the greenhouse effect, and the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. The video also discusses carbon sources, such as combustion and decomposition, and carbon sinks, like oceans and photosynthesis. It emphasizes the impact of human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, on the carbon cycle and climate change.

What are the two main stages of the carbon cycle?

• Formation of fossil fuels and acid rain

• Removing carbon from the atmosphere and returning it

• Combustion and Decomposition

• Photosynthesis and Respiration

Which process is NOT a source of carbon release into the atmosphere?

• Decomposition

• Respiration

• Photosynthesis

• Combustion

How do oceans contribute to the carbon cycle?

• By releasing carbon dioxide through volcanic eruptions

• By absorbing carbon dioxide and forming carbonic acid

• By providing oxygen for respiration

• By decomposing organic matter

What is the effect of deforestation on the carbon cycle?

• Increases the amount of carbon absorbed by trees

• Decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

• Reduces the amount of carbon that can be removed from the atmosphere

• Has no impact on the carbon cycle

What is a potential consequence of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

• Stabilization of the climate

• Reduction in ocean acidity

• Increase in greenhouse gases and global warming

• Decrease in global temperatures
