Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe and is needed for life.
It is the backbone of life on earth
we need carbon but that need is also entwined with one of the serious problem facing us today.

Carbon dioxide a colorless, odorless, and
slightly acid tasting gas, sometimes called carbonic acid gas, the molecule of which consists of one atom of carbon joined to two atoms of oxygen (CO2).

What is Carbon Cycle?
![Page 6: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Carbon cycle
The set of biochemical processes by which carbon undergoes chemical reaction, changes form, and moves through different reservoirs on earth, including living organism.
The geological component of the carbon cycle is driven by plate tectonics and includes processes like volcanic eruption and burial of carbon rich sediments on the ocean floor.
![Page 7: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The global carbon cycle is divided into major reservoir of common interconnected by pathway of exchange.

1. The atmosphere2. The terrestrial biosphere3. The ocean including dissolved
inorganic carbon the living and non living marine biota
4. Sediment including fossil fuel ,fresh water system and non living organic material such as soil carbon

Two Types of Carbon Cycle
Terrestrial Carbon Cycle Aquatic Carbon Cycle
![Page 10: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Terrestrial Carbon Cycle
Concerned with the movement of carbon through terrestrial ecosystems.
Terrestrial plants use atmospheric carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to generate oxygen that sustains animal life.
![Page 11: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Aquatic Carbon Cycle
concerned with the movements of carbon through marine ecosystems.
Aquatic plants also generate oxygen but they use carbon dioxide from water.
![Page 12: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Importance of Carbon Cycle The carbon cycle is important
because its disruption is what causes global warming at the atmosphere.
Too much carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere and the carbon dioxide trap heat inside the planet causing global temperature to rise.
![Page 13: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Causes
![Page 14: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The movement of carbon molecules from the co2 pool to the air and water to plants and animals is at various positions along the food chain and respiration return along the pool.
![Page 15: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Carbon is also returned to the pool through bacterial and fungal agent that causes decay, thusconverting the complex carbon containing molecules to their simple component.
![Page 16: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
one important factor:
Human activities change the atmosphere's
composition. Through burning fossil fuels, industrial production and etc.
These human activities increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which keeps more heat in our atmosphere , facilitating global warming.

Factor that leads to global warming
1. Increasing Population Growth2. Destruction of the forest 3. Burning of fossil fuel4. Exhaust Fumes/ Smokes and
other Gases

Photosynthesis
Chemical process by which plants containing chlorophyll use sunlight to manufacture their own food by converting carbon dioxide and water to carbohydrates, releasing oxygen as a by-product.
![Page 21: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Plants Use Carbon Dioxide
Plants pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to make food Called photosynthesis.
The carbon becomes part of the plant (stored food).
![Page 22: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Respiration
The process in which oxygen is used to break down organic compounds into carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and water (H 2 O).
![Page 23: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Animals Eat Plants
When organisms eat plants, they take in the carbon and some of it becomes part of their own bodies.
![Page 24: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Decomposition
The breakdown of complex molecules is a molecule of which dead organisms are composed into simple nutrients that can be reutilized by living organisms.
![Page 25: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Plants and Animal Die
When plants and animals die, most of their bodies are decomposed and carbon atoms are returned to the atmosphere.
Some are not decomposed fully and end up in deposits underground (oil, coal, etc.).

Combustion
It is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species.
![Page 27: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Weathering of rocks
It is the breaking down of rocks, soil and mineral as well as artificial material through contact with the earth’s atmosphere, biota, and water.
![Page 28: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Two important classification

Weathering
Chemical Weathering

Carbon Slowly Returns to Atmosphere
Carbon in rocks and underground deposits is released very slowly into the atmosphere.
This process takes many years. Cycle Repeats Over and Over
and Over and Over …

2 major effect of global warming
1. Increase of temperature on the earth by about 3° to 5° C (5.4° to 9° Fahrenheit) by the year 2100.
2. Rise of sea levels by at least 25 meters (82 feet) by the year 2100.

climate change Changes in the greenhouse effect ,
which affects the amount of heat retained by Earth’s atmosphere
Variations in the sun’s energy ,reaching Earth
Changes in the reflectivity of Earth’s atmosphere and surface.

Most places will continue to get warmer especially at night and in winter
Sea levels will continue to rise for many centuries
Weather patterns will keep changing Increased carbon dioxide levels
will affect biological systems independent of climate change.

CONCLUSION Human activities changes the natural
land surface. Humans causes global climate
change through fossil fuel combustion.
Earth's systems are dynamic they continually react to changing influences.

There are several compelling reasons to begin establishing a global carbon cycle observing system:
the well-known need for information on the productivity and changes of terrestrial biosphere to permit sustainable development and resource management.
![Page 49: Carbon Cycle](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816715550346895ddb83af/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
the well-established need for improved knowledge of the carbon cycle, its variability, and its likely future evolution, dictated by the desire to develop the most effective national and global policies to deal with climate variability, change, impact and adaptation.
