The largest store of carbon in the lithosphere:
Much of the carbon in the hydrosphere is:
A lot of the carbon in the cryosphere is stored in frozen ground called:
Carbon is stored in living things. This is called:
Trace gases in the atmosphere:
Process removing CO2 from the atmosphere by plants, which turn it into glucose (sugar):
Process whereby organisms use glucose to provide energy, exhaling CO2 as a result:
Organisms that break down complex molecules such as carbohydrates into simple molecules, releasing CO2 through respiration:
Burning – the breakdown of material by heat, usually releasing CO2 and often particles of black carbon too:
Long-term storage of carbon on the ocean floor:
Process at ocean ridges, subduction zones and hotspots (volcanoes):
