The Carbon/Oxygen Cycle

Karl Bauer, Cyrus Ackel

Carbon and Every thing

Every thing on the planet is made up of some carbon.

So all plants and animals and non living materials are made up of the building blocks that are carbon

Even things like Dead Organic material and natural gases are madeof carbon.

How The Carbon Cycle Works

The way the cycle works, is all things that live and have carbon die. When they die they replenish the earths carbon for new things to grow in its place.Trees take in the co2 we breath, then produce the o2 we use to breath and survive.

How the carbon cycle effects our life's

The carbon cycle can effect us in many ways, like allowing certain plants and food to grow.

Allowing us to live by breathing the o2 from trees afterthey take in our co2.

Change in global temperature, Global Warmingmelting ice caps and effecting environments all acrossthe planet.

Helpful uses of carbon

Carbon is found in things like firewood, firewood can be used to help heat homes.The trees that you get the wood from have lots of energy stored inside them from the sun and most of the tree is made up of carbon. Allowing for use as a fuel and energy source.

Fossil fuels like gasoline, petroleum and coal have lots of expendable energy. This is due to a high amount of carbon found in them. That allows them to be used to power things like cars and heat things and create energy to be made into electricity.
